    Hello all,

    Symantec is starting a free pilot program for Educational institutions
    around to world to compare their Firewall and IDS incident data. In
    specific the pilot will allow for educational facilities to contrast their
    own Incident data with that of other educational facilities, and the rest
    of the world, on a near real-time basis. With this reporting, pilot users
    will be able to obtain detailed statistics on how their organization
    contrasts the rest of the world. They will be able to run granular
    reports, including reports on specific attackers and event types (IDS and
    Firewall). These reports will provide a comparison of attacks targetting
    your own network, contrasted with those seen by other users within the
    DeepSight Threat Management System. The DeepSight Threat Management System
    currently monitors data from educational institutions in over 50 countries.
    In addition to this pilot users get full (free) access to the DeepSight
    Threat Management System . More can be read about this system at:

    http://enterprisesecurity.symantec.com/products/products.cfm?ProductID=158&EID=0

    The basic requirements for this Pilot are as follows:

    1. You must be an educational institution
    2. You must run one of the supported IDS or Firewall systems, configured on
    an external network interface, exposed to the Internet.

     BlackIce 2.0-3.x
     Cisco IOS 12.x
     Cisco PIX 4.2-5.1
     Cisco Secure IDS (Netranger) 2.5-3.0
     Enterasys Dragon 4.2.2
     Check Point Firewall-1 Next Generation, NG
     IP Chains
     IPF
     NetProwler 3.5x
     NetScreen 200, 100, 50, 25, 5XP
     RealSecure 3.1-5.5, 6.00-7.0
     Snort 1.6-1.9.x
     Snort Portscan 1.6-1.9.x
     ZoneAlarm 2.6.0

    3. You must be willing to contribute this data to the system for comparison
    on a timely basis.
    4. You must have a minimum of 20,000 IP addresses monitored.
