Today ArcSight announced that T-Mobile has chosen ArcSight ESM  for Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) and Imperva SecureSphere Web Application Firewall won Information Security Magazine  "strongest overall offering for application and database security" . Sweet !

1st sweet news :  I’m very happy to hear that ArcSight closed T-Mobile deal because I hope that more and more industry big players will adopt and support ArcSight’s technical innovations. I’m particularly keen to see widespread adoption of Common Event Format (CEF) promoted by Arcsight :

The Common Event Format (CEF) is an open log management standard that improves the interoperability of security-related information from different security and network devices and applications.

When CEF will become de-facto log management standard I’m sure that we will be able to aggregate and correlate events generate by any CEF compliant source.

 2nd sweet news :  I love Imperva’s SecureSphere Web Application and Database Firewall and it’s great to know that Information Security Magazine named it “the strongest overall offering for application and database security”. I still think Imperva is one of the most accurate web security controls and it’s good to see some public recognition for all the hard work!
