Shawn,

I was hoping to see some of the responses myself. We have been using a syslog server as a forensic store for many 
years, and diverting information to a SEIM for live analyses. Both of these systems can also collect data directly that 
would otherwise be missing. The time is right for us to re-assess our situation and are interested to hear what others 
are doing.

Regards
Matthew

    We're currently evaluating the community edition of Alienvault since it supports ossec, syslog, arpwatch, p0f, and snort.  
There are a plethora of other products it supports but those are the big hitters.  I've heard the professional version is leaps 
and bounds above the free version but haven't gotten that far.

    In terms of alternatives I've heard good things about
    IBM QRadar (formerly Q1 Labs)
    Tenable Log Correlation Engine
    Solarwinds Log & Event Manager (formerly Trigeo)

    Cheers!

    Subject: [SECURITY] SIEM Solutions

    Hello,
    I am currently working on a proposal for implementing a central logging system for our various services/devices.  I 
was wondering if I should be looking for a SIEM solution to consolidate event correlation with log management.

    I'm curious to know what others have done or are planning in this area.

    Shawn
