John and Russ will be presenting on Netwitness

In regard to the message, value prop and technology:
We raise the situational/operational awareness of the bad things that are getting past perimeter/signature based security solutions
Our architecture is modular in design and scales to accommodate the largest of environments
Storage is really the only factor that comes into play with most use cases…how much activity does a respective client have and how much/how long do they wish to retain the data….this is a per client calculation
We are a self contained system, but also offer jbods and other mechanisms for storing additional data
We record once and use many
Our message will challenge the standard way of thinking about security & the associated threats.

John talks to all of these points and Russ’ demo drives home the point that it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to use our solution…it is usually a rude and sometimes scary awakening for clients that employ our solutions.
