That would be highly dependent on their particular environment and from
experience could very from hours to a day or 2. To me you need to trend
over a longer time for proper tuning to take into consideration the
normally dynamic nature of traffic. If they have already done tuning from
another sensor you might be able to replicate a bit of that assuming that
the segment you are installing on is similar.

Sorry for the "non answer" but it's likely going to take some digging on
your part to develop a better estimate.

I'm writing up a proposal for a client to install a Proventia G sensor with
1 segment. It includes deployment of the sensor and tweaking it a little so
that they aren't seeing events they wish to ignore.

How long should such an assignment take?

Thank you

Hi:

I had opened about 10 support cases in the last two months, and we have
very quick response from ISS support ion all the cases.

Do you ever try to open a issue on the web page ? sometimes is faster than
the automatic response.

Unfortunately there is no support in spanish.

My question: Are you suffering the same treatment as we are receiving

to suport is not  an option to the great majority of  our customers that
only speak spanish.

What is happening to ISS support? The automatic response system just
stink.

We are open to suggestion and reasonable recomendations.

Thanks and Regards

I am from Mexico too, and I am having no problems with ISS's support, in
fact I think ISS has one of the best support.  In the mayority of the
cases I use the e-mail support, and I have a response sometimes the same
day but no more of 2 days. If the problem is the idiom, well that's not
ISS's problem, is yours or maybe your clients fault.

Just thought I would let everyone on the list know that Foundstone and Eeye
both have really nice docs on how to do scans and get the same results
without admin rights by settings corrects perms on registry keys and
allowing access to C$ / IPC$ / etc.

ISS, get on the ball, y'all.

I have been researching the need for an account with administrative
rights
for running scans of Windows boxes. Our NT administrators are uncomfortable
with this, and I think understandably so. If someone came to me and said
they needed a service account with admin access to all boxes on the domain
for their application to run, I would tell them it's a really bad idea, so
it reflects poorly on us when the security team is asking for this, doesn't
it?

Has anyone found a better way to do this? With Nessus (ahem), I have been
able to create a non-admin account with interactive login disabled and just
rights to specific registry keys to perform scans for patches. Can I do the
same, or something similar for Scanner?

To me this is a much better way to do this, because it's more suited to
leaving the account enable for automated scans.

Any thoughts from the group?


Thanks!
