Hi Michael, great event - I might need to go to the San Antonio one too, since I missed the second day of BSides Austin. This link should work BSidesTexas

Oh wait, I see what you're saying... weird that the default was "documentation" on the search, leading the casual observer to think they have no "documentation" relating to SIEM. Most software companies I've known include information under "documentation", if they are committed to the space. 

Ow, I forgot the link to the video Javvad did on RSA and BSides http://www.j4vv4d.com/video/rsa-2013-and-bsides-san-francisco/ Very good!!

Log files are a friend to IT in so many ways. Love the educational blog, Phil!

Javvad is doing a service to security professionals - his educational and entertaining video blogs are easy to consume and they include educational value.

LEM is clearly going to be a great way to deal with auditors. Check this fun (and short) video about dealing with auditors out http://www.j4vv4d.com/video/dealing-with-an-auditor/ LEM is the way to give them the information they need so you can pass the audit

Hear you, but if you go to the Splunk website, as of a half hour ago, when I searched on SIEM I got no hits. Google has a long memory, maybe? Maybe longer memory than current Splunk strategy?

What a great idea!!

Too right! PCI is one of those things where the best place to be is "out of scope" Nice post!

Love that pix, netoide!!

Oh wait, You Are the Product Manager!!

Experienced security professionals understand the value of log files... companies without this understanding are in jeopardy.

Love this blog - so true!

Nice perspective on Sasha's comment, Nicole. One thing to add: Splunk no longer appears to be positioning its offering as an SIEM. Go to their website and search for SIEM.... They seem to be refocusing on Big Data. I'm curious what Sasha's thought are about our comments. The best thing about community is we can learn from…

That would require Product Management approval. You have my vote though.

Hi, I am a new product marketing person at SolarWinds and I'm sorry I don't know this answer. I've reached out to some technical folks, though, and pointed them at your post, so hopefully we can help you out.
