Re: Enterprise Security Management - Dream or reality

[Predrag Zivic <pzivic () yahoo com>]

Hey we all have the same dreams:-)))
The two vendors very close to deliver the dream are:
- Computer Associates (eTrust line of products)- the
most complete if you ask me.
- Symantec (after the Axent acquisition) - Close
second.
- Network Associates (distant third - if you are
concerned ONLY about the Microsoft environment they
could be listed here as the second)
- Fourth - no close competitor... 
One will mention the Checkpoint and OPSEC but that is
still (according to me:-)) very good perimeter not
enterprise security product suite.
Another approach is to go with the point solutions and
create the custom tailored security management
umbrella.
Hope this helps...
