What's Happening in Information Security

Last week Gartner issued a research note for clients about Cisco MARS.

It seems that Cisco is freezing support for non-Cisco data sources and we’ve heard that  the Cisco salesforce is advising customers to look for another log collection and analysis and event management for non-Cisco sources. Several companies we talked to last week have already taken steps to augment Cisco MARS with Intellitactics SAFE.

We help you take full advantage of your Cisco MARS tool – we treat it like any other data source and consolidate the logs with all the logs from non-Cisco data sources. Better yet - we collect logs from dozens of Cisco devices and any non-Cisco data source you can think of. We offer high speed parsing, log analysis, event management and hundreds of compliance reports using one, simple to deploy SIEM appliance.

We know that there are lots of you out there that were trying to “check the box” for a SIEM solution with MARS. Cisco widely sold MARS as a SIEM and built a huge customer base. It’s time to make your almost SIEM a fully capable SIEM by choosing one Intellitactics SIEM solution like Intellitactics SAFE.

SAFE solves your compliance challenge and gives you the foundation you need to establish best practice security operations. SAFE helps you do more with logs – all your logs – and establish the infrastructure for every day compliance. Whether you plan to augment or replace Cisco MARS you can learn more about SAFE every Tuesday at 2 PM EST.
