| The Chief of IT security department at a financial services firm with 501-1,000 employees | 4.0 | I find this product excellent for asset inventory and incident investigation, uncovering security violations. Its support is top-notch. However, I wish it had prevention features, and custom filters are still on the roadmap. |
| The Chief of IT security department at a financial services firm with 501-1,000 employees | 4.0 | I found TopSpin easy to deploy and use, offering excellent network control and forensics with great support. My only concerns are its lack of prevention and HoneyPot limitations. |
| The Chief of IT security department at a financial services firm with 501-1,000 employees | 4.0 | As a security manager, I easily deployed TopSpin Security's APT solution. It immediately uncovered numerous hidden threats my existing tools missed, shattering my confidence and proving the vital need for continuous vigilance. |
It has the best support, quick and professional.
It's easy to use and deploy.
There's no prevention or blocking mechanism, and static IPs for a HoneyPot that even if known, might be ignored by malware.
We've been using similar security solutions for three years, and TopSpin specifically for two years.
An additional device might be needed such as a TAP device, if there's a lack of switches on the SPAN port.
No issues encountered,

It's excellent.
Technical Support:It's excellent.
It was easy and very easily understandable.
We did it in-house.
When it's well tuned, there is no more administrative overload when managing the system. Just OS and malware detection engine updates are needed, and as a result, you see an ROI in six months.

Nowadays any security manager, due to constantly changing technology more and more, is faced with new security challenges.
Did you ask yourself:
These things always drive me crazy. As a person responsible for overall IT security in a company, I'm always driven by this passion to be on top. At first sight, the security level of the company is quiet enough, but how can I be confident? Maybe somebody has stolen your data already, but you did not get an alert. The answers to your questions lies in continuous analysis - as the more information you get, the more you can sort it and leave only the needed information. This inevitably brings me to the end of my research - do we have full control of our assets within the environment? Or, to put it simply - how good is the change management process within your infrastructure? After this, I started to explore the products available on the internet that can satisfy my needs - asset control/inventory, change management, control of any suspicious behavior, what kind of tools and applications are used, data leakage detection, low administrative workload, professional and quick support, precise event detection or minimal false-positives, forensics, and evidence. I tested the best products from LastLine and FireEye, but there was always something that turned me off.
Finally, another product for testing was found - Anti-Malware, or APT detection solution, from TopSpin Security. This product uses both technologies – egress/ingress analysis and decoy methodology to lure and detect the malware. I was sizzling to launch it, and to check if it satisfied my needs in "defense-in-depth" strategy?
My first surprise - it was a very simple deployment, no need for technical or specific skills. I just forwarded or passed the traffic to the appliance, install the services for decoy and launch it!
Woohoo!
In order, it detected
I was surprised, or a little bit shocked. What can I say - this product crashed my confidence about us having a secure company environment. It helped me to unveil the truth, and you must constantly search for new technologies, educate yourself, and use the right solutions to protect your environment.
Just some advice - stay secure as nobody takes care of security better than you. It's not enough to simply believe that you secure and must act for security.
