See What You Have Been Missing: One organization’s experience on the implementation of SIEM

In this session, Dan Han from Virginia Commonwealth University will share his experience on the implementation of a Security Information Event Management (SIEM) system in his organization. The session will provide an overview on the business driver, evaluation, architecture, and implementation of a SIEM system, as well as the costs and lessons learned from this implementation.
