SIM and Contants of Security Reports

Subject: SIM and Contants of Security Reports
Date: Wed, 6 Apr 2005 17:17:30 +0300
Dear Fellows,

In addition to the following list (coming from the top of my head), what should 
go in a general 'Monthly Security Report' prepared by IT security unit. The 
audience is specifically the upper-management (needs to be human friendly and 
relatively less technical).

-Average Machine (client/server) patch status
-Average anti-virus signature status
-Avg. number of attacks (HIGH sensitivity) from internet and intranet. Probably 
needs to be extracted from IDS and firewall logs.
-Users with highest Internet usage.
-Virus/Trojans blocked on the gateway products (SMTP, HTTP, FTP etc.)

Also, nowadays I read about the so called Security Information Management (SIM) 
products available in the market that gather logs from different sources 
(firewall, IDS etc) and correlate it to make sense and give a clear picture (in 
some cases real-time) of the security of your network/system as a whole. What 
products do you recommend and in addition to their principle benefit, would 
they be helpful for the above report that I want to create on monthly basis.

Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks.

Regards,
 
-Nabil.
