The Cerner company purchased a log analyzer company and is putting out a
product called P2 sentinel.  For any of those of you in the healthcare
industry, have you used or evaluated this product?
It does patient record auditing & the log analyzer looks pretty good
for a lot of network devices & OS log files which we have to have for
HIPAA "technical security mechanism auditing ".

You might consider looking at QRadar by Q1Labs (www.q1labs.com). We
have been
using it for almost a year new and we have happy with the product. It

good job of analyzing Netflow, sFlow, JFlow, et al... You can also
place a
collector on a SPAN port or tap to get full layer-7 analysis. They
recently
added SEM capability in their latest release that supports a whole
smorgasbord
of security logs that correlates with the flow data.

Subject: [SECURITY] Network flow log consolidation

Tangential to the discussion of syslog parsing, are any others on the
list evaluating or implementing products to consolidate network flow
logs? This would be a precursor to trend analysis and perhaps some
security event correlation processes.

I have looked at some products in a past position and am wondering
which
products or systems you find valuable.
