 We aren't there yet, but we hope our new SIM device will assist us in being proactive.

 In the last two weeks we caught two different incidents of zero day viruses that McAfee didn't have DATs for (it took 
them around 8 hours after we sent the virus to issue a beta DAT for us). We caught these through our Barracuda, so 
alerting off these has been helpful for us.

Subject: [SECURITY] A Real-Time malware antivirus console

Hi there.

We are reviewing our entire organization antivirus solution.
Aside of effectiveness in malware detection,I am trying to propose a
solution that gives an real time overall malware threat monitoring
tool.I'm looking something like real time malware monitor or console
indicating real time trend of malware detection in my network  which
let me act right upon a malware breakup (incident response team) and
not having to react after those incidents with a sad report of events
hours ago.
Are you aware of any corporate solution that offer this feature?
McAfee and EPO can do that?

Thank you
