Looks like your CIO didn't do his/her homework. :)
sometimes the best and most expensive solution is not the best for
your environment. just my two cents...

Our CIO insists on using this app...   ArcSight's Threat Response
Manager is causing WAY more headaches then security.I don't have time to
do what I should be doing,because this BEAST thinks normal network
activity is hostile!

A weapon in one hand or a turd in the other,the way I see it!

Rant over!

Please DO NOT let anyone talk you into trying this.It finds so many
false positives,it will throttle your bandwidth to a point where it is
unusable!

I know ArcSight will get mad about this post,but truth be told"Get a
Grip,PLEASE"!

Help,not hurt your fellow bro's here!

Anyway,Hope this helps,
    Scott
