Feedback - CiscoWorks Security Information Management Solution

Can somebody share his experience with
CiscoWorks Security Information Management Solution (CiscoWorks SIMS)?
How do you like it? Is it doing what it is supposed to do well?
Thanks

I have installed the SIMS 3.1 appliance into a small web hosting network. I have 4 Cisco IDS, 8 routers, and 6 Pix firewalls all reporting to the unit.
I am in the process of exploring all the different reports available. So far I am happy with automated reporting capability.
I have found that the vast majority of events are due to system misconfiguration, network cleanup, etc. There is definitely a significant effort to tune your reporting devices in order to avoid false positives and other "noise".
I am also looking into the Risk Management cabability but the documentation is less than helpful. Apparently the "brute force" method of just diving in and testing all the capabilities of the system is the only way to really learn it.
Let me know if you have any specific questions and I will do my best to answer.

Best information manager software?

I work as a reporter and often research large, sprawling investigative projects. I'm looking for the best information manager software out there, and am wondering what would work best. Here are the features I'm looking for:
-Allow me to me to easily attach a reference to a file (as opposed attaching a whole file, which would eat up a ton of space), AND allows me link to a particular section w/in a file (for PDFs, Word / RTF docs, web pages, etc.). Some sort of drag and drop feature would be great...
-It would be great if it would also allow me to attach a similar reference to sound files as well, such as WAV or MP3s -- for interviews.
-Interfacing w/ Spotlight and, if possible, Mailsmith, NetNewsWire, and FileMaker Pro (tricky, I know).
-Powerful searching capabilities, and searching options that will allow me to refine searches
-Indexes everything, builds cross-references, and allows extremely flexible input
-Encryption or some level of added security
I've heard people reference Devonthink Pro, Circus Ponies' Notebook, Yojimbo, and TopXNotes. Any suggestions?

I've heard MySQL is great for maximum flexibility in designing a database, but i've also heard it has a sharp learning curve and isn't very user friendly. Does it interface very well w/ other app's? What about Spotlight?
I currently use FileMaker Pro, but it doesn't interface w/ Spotlight or DEVONthink or...well, many app's actually. I tried downloading the most current version of Bento, but unfortunately it requires Leopard. Will see if I can find an earlier version to play around w/... In what way do you see DEVONthink as too confining? I'm tooling around w/ it right now and so far it seems pretty good, but I'd love to hear about it's shortcomings.
Thanks for your feedback! Any other suggestions / ideas...?

Wireless network management solution

We are running a pilot project to deploy a centralize wireless solution for our campus. The pilot consists of only about 20 Cisco1200 access points. We are in need of Network Management solution to manage these access points. The NMS would have to pretty much behave like what we already have into place for our wired networks such as: alerts on snmp traps, thresholds settings, data capture, administration,etc, in general be able to proactively check possible shortcomings on the infrastructure and help to troubleshoot problems. Once we fully deploy the centrally controlled wireless network, there could be any way from 1200 to 1500 access points, so whichever system we choose must be able to scale to these numbers.
Im interested in knowing which wireless network management solutions are the preferred one from the audience on this forum. Your input will help me to narrow down possible options.
Thanks a lot for any information.

I would suggest that you go for the WLSE. CiscoWorks WLSE is a centralized, systems-level application for managing and controlling an entire Cisco Aironet WLAN infrastructure. For more information on this read

Network security:LAN manager authentication level setting on GPO

Hi,
We have a requirement from project team to change the one of the security setting on default domain policy for all computers in domain. Below are the security setting which we need to modify.
computer configuration-->windows settings-->security settings-->local policies-->security options-->
Network security: LAN manager authentication level
this setting need to be changed to - Send LM & NTLM - use NTLMv2 session security if negotiated.
The project team facing issue with Apache web server and they found the solution on below link.(we have tested this by changing local group policy and this solution works as expected)
https://www.sysaid.com/Sysforums/posts/list/9065.page
We need to know what is the impact after enabling this on domain computers.
Need help on this to go-head on this.

Hi,
you have a weaker domain security overall. "
LM Hash Generation
The algorithm introduces several weaknesses that attackers can exploit. First, all lowercase characters are set to uppercase, reducing the number of possible characters. Second, it splits a long, strong, password into two seven-character chunks.
Both the LM and NTLM protocols operate essentially the same way; the only difference is the password hash.

Business Information Management - Quickbase, Basecamp, etc.

I work with international trade with dozens of customers and factories, hundreds of contacts, and at any moment in time there may be dozens if not hundreds of projects I need to manage, from quotes to production to shipments and deliveries.
Recently I became aware of a new class of web based Business Information Management software, like Quickbase or Basecamp, that allow you to create projects on line, invite project team members, schedule events and deadlines, etc.
Part of what attracts me to these solutions is that it organizes communication on a project by project basis. Searching through e-mail threads to find an e-mail from a customer that changed the spec on a product 3 months ago (when the subject line had nothing to do with the spec change) is a not infrequent event that consumes a lot of time.
Any thoughts out there regarding better and more efficient ways to use Mail (I haven't yet used the search features or Smart folders very well) and any thoughts on those of you who have used some of these web based project management systems? One of my largest customers is starting to use Quickbase and they have become addicted to the power of managing their purchasing team and deadlines.

Usage Solution Manager Solution Directory

Hi,
Does anyone knows what is the purpose or usage of Solution Manager Solution Directory?
Please and thanks
Kumar

Hi Kumar,
In the solution directory you can manage your solutions.
One of the challenges you face in production after completing a project successfully is preserving the knowledge gained from the project and keeping it up to date during operations. SAP Solution Manager's solution concept is designed to help you do this. A solution contains information about system, software components and business processes(scenarios), which you can transfer from your project to SAP Solution Manager. You thereby ensure that all of the information can still be accessed and consolidated further after the project has been completed.
You manage solutions in the Solution Directory. Solution offer the following advantages:
- All assignments in the SAP Solution Manager project are available;
- The scenario and business process structures are transferred to the solution;
- Configuration object assignments are readily available;
- You can use test cases in the structure to effectively test changes that have been made;
- You can reuse e-learning materials from projects in the solution;
- The solution has the same system landscape concept as the project, which means you can reuse the structure when upgrading.
Regards,
Daniel.

How to reset your Apple ID security questions
Go to appleid.apple.com and click on the blue button that says 'Manage Your Apple ID'.
Log in with your Apple ID and password. If you have forgotten your Apple ID password, go to iforgot.apple.com first to reset your password with a password recovery email.
Go to the Password & Security section on the left side. Then underneath the security questions click on the link that says 'Forgot your answers? Send reset security info email to [email]'. This will generate an automated e-mail that will allow you to reset your security questions.
If that doesn't work, or there is no rescue email link available, then:
click on 'Temporary Support PIN' that is in the bottom left side, and generate a 4-digit PIN for the Apple Account Security Advisor you will be contacting later.
Next, go to getsupport.apple.com. If you see a message that says 'There are no products registered to this Apple ID, simply click on 'See all products and services'.
Choose 'More Products & Services', then 'Apple ID'.
A new page will open. Choose 'Other Apple ID Topics', then 'Forgotten Apple ID Security Questions'.
Click the blue 'Continue' button.

Problem with Client Security Password Manager won't let me open it?

Win7
32-bit
IE-10
Client Security Password Manager 8.30.0057.00
It allows me to save passwords.
It will not allow me to get into the program to check/edit/delete the password info.
Fingerprint software 3.3.2.43 is working correctly.
Also does not let it auto-fill.
Have tried un-installing and re-installing.
Please advise.
Thanks!

Hi
You could try the new password manager.
http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?&DocID=DS031504
Or you could try to delete all the files,
Find Client Security Solution in user profile folder (Search hidden), and delete them all.
And restart system.
Before doing this, remember to export passwords

HT5622 When I sign in with my apple ID and password then goto password and security, i do not get the option to reset my security information. Why not?

I do not have the option to change my security information when I sign in to my Apple ID and goto Password and security. Why not?

Just to be clear - what are you signing into? You could be talking about connecting or setting a computer or device to your icloud or itunes account. You could be talking about logging into your icloud account using a browser to icloud.com. Or you may have followed a link to an Apple page that lets you edit your account.
If you can't remember your security questions/answers then go to Express Lane and select 'iTunes' from the list of 'products' in the middle of the screen.
Then select 'iTunes Store', and on the next screen select 'Account Management'
Next choose 'iTunes Store Account Security' and fill in that you'd like your security questions/answers reset.
You should get an email reply within about 24 hours (and check your Spam folder as well as your Inbox) - but some recent posts are saying that Apple have temporarily suspended the reseting of security question/answers whilst account security processes are improved, so it may take longer.

Since the last update yesterday to firefox 4.0.1 my program "asus security protect manager" doesn't work properly. That means, that the saved keys from several websites not remembered for lock in.

since the last update yesterday to firefox 4.0.1 my program “asus security protect manager” doesn’t work properly. That means, that the saved keys from several websites not remembered for lock in.

Sorry you are having problems. First of all try Fifrefox's safemode.
*[[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]]
If that works post back for further advice.
Next step, if safe mode did not work.
First: Try a clean install, (you have had a none standard version installed previously) that involves deleting the program files. Then if necessary try troubleshooting by creating and using a clean empty Firefox profile.
See
* this recent post [/questions/940399#answer-377134]
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Clean_reinstall
Second: try a New Profile
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_Manager#Creating_a_new_profile
* this will be an additional profile, it is still worth backing up any existing or currently working profile on a regular basis
**[[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]
* Until you are absolutely confident about the repercussions I suggest
** always use an empty folder when creating a new profile
** never delete or rename profiles, just disable or remove shortcuts
** after creating a new test profile open it and check for any addons or plugins that may be have been included by default

Applying recommend settings from "microsoft security compliance manager 3.0.60.0" to a standalone Server using LocalGPO.wsf on Server 2012 R2

Hello
Can someone please help me with the following question.
I have a standalone Server and need to apply settings from SCM, I can see how to do this following the instructions in the following article
http://windowsitpro.com/security/q-how-can-i-apply-security-baseline-i-defined-through-microsoft-security-compliance-manager
The problem is the LocalGPO.wsf that ships with the above version of SCM does not run on Server 2012 R2 (only Server 2012)
my question is,
is there a later version of LocalGPO.wsf I can use that works on Server 2012 R2 ?
Thanks
