Another CS-MARS Milestone Fast Approaching

Did you delay that decision to look at the second generation SIEM options, to replace your aging Cisco MARS Appliance?

Just to note, that we are now around 6 weeks away from another milestone in the end-of-sale and end-of life dates for the Cisco Security Monitoring, Analysis, and Response System.

June 2, 2012, Cisco will no longer develop, repair, maintain or test the product software.
