Hi,
We declined because we're on the cusp of releasing our 3.0 IMS product
(combined sensor and management console appliances) with a new GUI, new
backend, upgraded Snort and a variety of other features (new data
analysis UI, new incident handler UI, new reporting modules, new policy
wizard for generating sensor configuration sets, etc) and we didn't
really want to immortalize our current 2.7 software in an article that
would essentially be stale a month after it came out, leaving people
with the impression of a system that we aren't even shipping just as
we're going to market with our New And Improved (tm) systems. We tried
to get more time to be able to get our 3.0 system into the test, but
publishing deadlines and our release schedule didn't line up.
With the advent of 3.0 we'll be happy to participate in tests if we
believe we can get a fair shake (i.e. tested by clueful people) and
assuming the publishing deadlines and everything else line up. If you
want to see our stuff in action, we do give qualified leads the
opportunity to evaluate our technology for 30 day periods.
-Marty
