A quick saturday update. We just released OSSIM 2.2 with a ton of new features, have a look here. New screenshots and videos up on AlienVault too.

This release is quite complex featuring a whole lot of new features as well as a rewrite of old ones. Please don't hesitate posting on the forums if you've got any doubt or catch any bug.

I know I haven't been very active on the forums myself (what the heck, weren't able to answer during the last months) but the whole devel team @Alienvault will make an extra effort there too in order to make this the best release we had so far. At a technical level it is without a doubt.

I for myself am very excited, RSA and BSidesSF next week :-))).

Wow, almost March and my first post this year, need to care a bit more about this. Lot of things are happening around OSSIM, AlienVault and myself these months.

First, we finished a big funding round early this year which finally will enable us to consolidate OSSIM as a leader in the SIEM space (at least that's the idea :-) ). We're going to invest a lot into development but more importantly into community care, documentation and all those things that wrap around the product.

Another big thing will be the imminent release of 2.2, with tons of new features. Check out the documentation link above which will lead you to http://www.youtube.com/alienvaulttv.

More things related to this funding is the establishment of AlienVault USA. For a start I'll be travelling a lot between Europe and the US, attending conferences, giving talks and scoping the market over there. San Francisco Bay Area is the chosen location for this move.

For a start we'll be having a small booth at RSA 2010l, booth #553 (check the floorplan, count four booth clusters to the right from the upper left corner). I'm very excited about this, looks like this is one of the largest and most interesting security vendor conferences available, and we'll be there. (Going to be there with our CEO and VP Sales). As a said note, in order not get too harassed by spam around me I'll spend a couple of days midst week at the BSidesSF, where I hope I'll be able to do a quick lightning talk :-)

That's all for now, next time I'll be writing from the sunny beach of Santa Cruz :)))
