I'm an apprentice in web security and I was assigned with the task of researching about OSSIM. Bear with my infinite ignorance as I take my questions to the stack exchange gurus.
What I know so far:
- It's free and and open source
- Once installed security administrators can easily observe all risk related processes
-
It features many software components that aid in the recolection of data, these are used for vulnerability assesments, as IDS, HIDs and others.
What I don't know:
-
The Physical hardware I need. I was told I would need 3 network cards (NIC). Is this true? please explain. Also I would like to know how much processing power, storage and RAM I will need.
-
Will the number of Internet service providers (ISPs) be of importance when the hardware selection process take place? We currently have 2 different ISPs for different services.
-
Will 1 computer with OSSIM be enough to manage security events from about 5 websites of medium traffic and a couple of internal systems? We intend to set up a monitoring station with at least 2 physical monitors to ease the monitoring task.
Kind regards
