This reminds me of the politician many years ago that tried to win his election by taking out a full page newspaper advertisement stating that his opponent was an admitted "homo" sapiens.
I work for ISS. I think you SHOULD consider that ISS uses real (and consenting) users in its QA processes. These real users are actually QA team members in some of our customers' organizations. We find that their feedback is invaluable in maintaining and improving the quality of our products. Likewise, these users find that the relationship allows them to discover problems and get them resolved prior to deployment on their production networks instead of afterward. The early access these relationships provide also allows them to confidently deploy new technology and protection into their production environments sooner after it becomes publicly than they otherwise could. <sarcasm> Yes, ISS even has the audacity to use real users in Beta programs on new products and major software updates :) </sarcasm> -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, July 19, 2006 1:20 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: ISS - virtual patching Yep... with ISS its mostly about hype. Also you have to consider that real users (knowingly or unknowingly) are being used to QA their signatures. Hmmm.. I wonder who is paying who here. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Test Your IDS Is your IDS deployed correctly?
