I concur with getting help and training configuring Arcsight I will say that out of the box Arcsight can receive data from al the devices you mention but you have quite a bit of homework before you even touch Arcsight - for each device you need to determined what is it that you want to "capture/filter" - in other words what events in particular are you interested in (e.g., logons & log offs, access failures, successful access to critical files). Then you need to configure each device to generate the events onto audit trails/logs - for windows for example you need to turn audit on and for each file that you want to track you need to go and turn audit for that file. Once you do all this then you can look at Arcsight to receive/forward/filter logs and generate report/alerts.

Surely you got training and access to docs with your licenses? If you're just now deploying, Arcsight should be assisting you with that - especially your salesperson. -- Paul Schmehl, Senior Infosec Analyst As if it wasn't already obvious, my opinions are my own and not those of my employer. ******************************************* Check the headers before clicking on Reply.
