What's the size of your deployment? We are considering it for about 20,000
devices and it sounds like that we've underestimated the support for the
product. It will supplement our enterprise virus protection and our virus
guys (2) will take this on as an additional function.

I use CSA in my environment. It has its good points and bad points. It will
definitely stop viruses and the like from infecting your computers, but it
will also stop legitimate traffic as well. I definitely do not worry about
my critical servers on which the CSA is running. There is a learning phase
where you spend a lot of time monitoring logs and tweaking the rules
database. If you do choose CSA and deploy, it can easily become a full-time
job depending on the size of your deployment.

Here's an article that ran recently in Network Computing that can probably
help you.

Hi,
Can anyone give me some feedback on the Cisco Security Agent. This product
claims to stop malicious behaviour on machines infected by any malware.
We were recently hit pretty hard by Sasser. Cisco has since been trying to
sell us this product as a heuristic solution to malicious activity on the
network. The product does not depend on any signature updates and is
entirely behavioural.
Cisco puports to have successfully stopped Sasser from doing any damage.
Can anyone confirm this to be a fact. The product does not come cheap.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Cherian
