Monthly Blog Round-Up – September 2012

Here is my next monthly "Security Warrior" blog round-up of top 5 popular posts/topics this month:
  1. Simple Log Review Checklist Released!” is often at the top of this list – the checklist is still a very useful tool for many people. “On Free Log Management Tools” is a companion to the checklist (updated version, and, yes, I know it needs another update…)
  2. Top 10 Criteria for a SIEM?” came from one of my last projects I did when running my SIEM consulting firm in 2009-2011.
  3. On Choosing SIEM” is another old classic (from 2010) that shows up on my top list; it covers some tips on  choosing SIEM tools.
  4. My PCI DSS Log Review series is popular as well. It actually needs no introduction Smile
  5. The Myth of SIEM as “An Analyst-in-the-box” or How NOT to Pick a SIEM-II?” is about how some organizations want to buy a SIEM and pretend they now have security monitoring
In addition, I’d like to draw your attention to a few posts from my Gartner blog:
