Information Security Magazine has just released the 2008 Product Review Guide which summons the year long reviews on 56 security products. SearchSecurity.com presents the report as a best-buy guide

Specifically designed for information security managers tasked with evaluating and purchasing security hardware in 2009.

The topics which are covered represent almost a full sweep of the actual IT security technologies :  Application Security, Authentication, Configuration Management, Data Loss Prevention, Data Protection, Endpoint Security, Firewall, Identity Management, Incident Response, Compliance, Log Management, Mobile Security, Security Information/Event Management (Siem), Security Testing, Virtualization Security, Vpn, Web Security Gateway, Wireless Security.

In addition to these individual reviews, there are 2 comparative reviews :
Web application Firewall which presents :

• Barracuda Networks’ Web Application Gateway (formerly NetContinuum)
• Bee Ware’s iSentry
• Breach Security’s WebDefend
• Citrix’s Application Firewall
• F5 Networks’ Big-IP 8800 Application Security Manager;
• Imperva’s SecureSphere Web Application Firewall.

IT GRC Solutions which presents :

• Archer Technologies’ SmartSuite Framework
• Symantec’s Control Compliance Suite 8.60 and Modulo’s Risk Manager

I just wish ArcSight was included in the SIEM section or even better, a comparative SIEM review among :ArcSight, Novell, RSA. Now that would be useful !
