We've been using OSSEC and have been pretty impressed.  It's free and
open source.  Also, the active response feature is nice if you have a
lot of Linux servers in your environment.  You can check it out at
www.ossec.net.

We had a project where we evaluated SIEM products a couple of years ago and
chose to go with a product from LogRhythm. With the little that I’ve played
with it the product seems to have some nice built-in reporting and the
ability to do a fair amount of customization. Unfortunately, as is the issue
with many of our security projects on campus, the backing of resources has
not followed the initial investment of time. I guess my big take-away is
that it doesn’t matter if logs are on separate systems or if they are all on
the same system if nobody is looking at them.

Hi all,



I’ve been asked to evaluate products in order to implement a SIEM solution
for our core infrastructure. What, if any, SIEM solutions are working for
you? Is anyone using OSSIM by alienvault?



Thanks,
