    If a colleague was looking to tighten down their network I can easily recommend Snort to them. It gives you some more peace of mind knowing that its always scanning traffic for malicious looking code. Even things your major firewalls and security hardware might miss, Snort has picked up. Its an easy recommendation for me.

    In its current version, it is basic. There are nice new features that should provide a good overall picture of the configuration and security of the account.

    • Difficult to attribute the vulnerabilities to the correct instance - cloud is too dynamic. Is supposed to be fixed in new version - we will see.

    For our organization, the Cisco defense in depth concept works the best. While Cisco can be made to work with other vendors, we have found the best in depth protection by integrating Cisco products for maximum visibility. We had a Barracuda Web Filter, but it was difficult to maintain when you had limited scope on what you could block, so we created a whitelist only setup which required a lot of additional manpower. This wouldn't have covered new threats with DNS spoofing and the like. Sourcefire also integrated with our anti-malware platform (Cisco AMP) for even better visibility on what may be happening on the end users workstation. We are planning on adding in Cisco ISE to complete the approach and possibly stealthwatch to cover our bases in the future. The Palo Alto gear was interesting, but it was priced far out of our range.

    We looked at this over a year ago, the space was still young. Censys provided what we originally needed, but was soon outdone by Tenable with their initial release. I am sure that Censys improved as well, but it was easier to expand on our current Tenable license.
