I agree with that statement 100%. There are so many vendors/tools to
detect
and alleviate Information Security vulnerabilities, but they each
require a
FT person to understand/deploy/manage each solution. The worst part is
not
having "merge able" data to analyze and determine a comprehensive
security
standpoint with these so called "out of the box" security solutions...

Sebastian -

The area of Security Information Management (SIM) will be evolving over
the next few years.  There is definitely some "low-level" work to be
done to make these things work like they promise.  I think they (or
something like them) will greatly assist both Infosec professionals and
decision makers eventually, but things like compatibility among security
devices, recognizing and categorizing events, gathering, condensing and
analyzing the plethora of information to make it useable in a meaningful
and powerful way, and trying to make this all happen near real-time
hasn't been achieved yet.  In my opinion, plenty of theoretical and
practical opportunities for a dissertation.

Good Luck,
