Software Inspector (CSI)
Hello all MS-ISAC Members and interested partners:
Just a reminder about the current aggregate procurement window that is
open from April 1 - June 1, 2012 for Secunia's Corporate Software
Inspector (CSI 5.0), an authenticated vulnerability and patch scanner
which identifies installed programs and missing security patches and
integrates with Microsoft WSUS & SCCM for deployment of 3rd party
updates. It works for Microsoft and Apple Mac operating systems.
If you missed the webcasts and need more information about CSI 5.0,
please contact us (either Ryan Spelman or Christina Carr at CIS/MS-ISAC,
518-266-3460 or email contact@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx). We can email a portion
of the webcast as needed. Additionally, Secunia will provide one-on-one
sessions with those that need more information.
I have included my original email below that contains details and
pricing. Also attached is a FAQ to assist in answering some questions
that you may have. One update regarding the pilot program that Secunia
is offering for a free trial through June 1: Although Secunia would
like to publish your pilot as a case reference and quote a testimonial
from you, this is not required. For more information about the pilot
program (POC), see the attached brochure or contact Meaghan McKeown at
mmckeown@xxxxxxxxxxxx
We need to reach commitment (via a Letter of Intent) for 250,000 hosts
by June 1, 2012 in order for this aggregate procurement to proceed.
After that entities will have from June 1 until July 31, 2012 to process
their payment/PO. CIS/MS-ISAC will act a reseller for Secunia so
payment will be to CIS but the license agreement will be with Secunia.
If you have any other questions about this procurement, feel free to
contact Ryan Spelman or Christina Carr at CIS/MS-ISAC, 518-266-3460 or
email contact@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Software Inspector (CSI)
Hello all MS-ISAC Members:
As discussed on the last two monthly webcasts/calls, the MS-ISAC and
Secunia have a new partnership agreement which will offer aggregate
purchasing opportunities for all state, local, territory and tribal
entities during 2012.
MS-ISAC can aggregate purchases of all members to obtain the following
volume discounted prices:
* Secunia's Corporate Software Inspector (CSI 5.0) (an
authenticated vulnerability and patch scanner which identifies installed
programs and missing security patches; it integrates with Microsoft WSUS
& SCCM for deployment of 3rd party updates. Works for Microsoft and
Apple Mac operating systems.)
* Discounted pricing: $10.25 - $11.25 depending upon number of
hosts
* 0-29,999 Hosts = $11.25 per host for 3 year license
* 30-59,999 Hosts = $10.75 per host
for 3 year license
* 60,000+ Hosts = $10.25 per host
for 3 year license
* Extended license period will be earned if the total aggregate
number of hosts exceeds 500,000
500,000-999,999 total Hosts: 3 1/2 year license
1,000,000+ total Hosts: 4 year license
There is a minimum volume (250,000 host licenses) that we must reach in
the aggregate to receive these prices, so we need to spread the word.
In order to do that, we are offering a number of ways for MS-ISAC
members to share this information:
1. The Feb. 28th special webcast held after the MS-ISAC monthly
webcast/call with detailed information regarding this opportunity will
be repeated on: April 4th 4pm ET and again on April 11th 10:30am.
MS-ISAC members are encouraged to invite state agencies, local
governments and educational institutions to these sessions.
2. If folks cannot make either webcast, a pre-recorded presentation
by Secunia regarding the Corporate Software Inspector product is
available at:
https://ca.secunia.com/SCF14cniBcpaP73DEc5M/Secunia-MSISAC-Presentation.
zip (123MB).
3. Members are welcome to forward this message or cut and paste
from it as well.
This is a time limited aggregate opportunity. There is a 60 day
aggregate commitment window from April 1 - June 1, 2012 during which
time each purchasing state, local, territory or related entity must
submit a letter of intent to CIS/MS-ISAC at contact@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx or
fax to 518-283-3216. Letters of Intent should include:
* Number of host licenses to be purchased
* Name and contact information (address, email, phone) for the
main technical contact
* Name and contact information (address, email, phone) for the
billing contact
* Form of payment that will be used (PO, check, credit card)
* Signed by authorized purchaser
Purchasing entities will have from June 1 until July 31, 2012 to process
their payment/PO. CIS/MS-ISAC will act a reseller for Secunia so
payment will be to CIS but the license agreement will be with Secunia.
If we do not reach the 250,000 minimum by June 1, 2012, the procurement
will not proceed.
You can purchase the product in two ways - group with MS-ISAC or
purchase individually:
If purchased as a group with MS-ISAC, you have the option to allow
MS-ISAC to see your data:
* If MS-ISAC is allowed to see your data, the MS-ISAC can send you
targeted advisories for software that is running on your system
* If a new vulnerability is found on a piece of software running
on your environment, MS-ISAC can also offer you workarounds and
alternatives
* You can be notified on APT like activities by performing md5
comparison on malware that is used in previous but not public attacks.
(mostly ongoing law enforcement cases)
* It would allow MS-ISAC to get an accurate software inventory of
all participating states resulting in more group buy opportunities
If individual purchase is made:
* Still benefit from the group buy
* Cannot benefit from the targeted advisories or other customized
services
More Information:
Secunia has set up a webpage with links to information about the
Corporate Software Inspector (CSI) product at:

Secunia is offering a pilot program where you can get up to a 60 day
free trial. During the trial, everything from set-up to operations will
be implemented for you. In return, Secunia is asking you to agree to
allow them publish the pilot as a case reference and quote a testimonial
from you. For more information about the pilot program (POC), see the
attached brochure. If you are interested, contact Meaghan McKeown at
mmckeown@xxxxxxxxxxxx
Feel free to forward this email, as is or in your own format, to your
state agencies, local governments, educational institutions and other
government related partners for their information and potential
participation.
