Research Activities: A Fully Distributed NetEye
During the NetEye User Group in November 2019, I presented the future vision of a new, completely distributed architecture to allow more flexibility, performance and scalability.

Read MoreNetEye SIEM Self-Security
NetEye SIEM is a very powerful tool that allows you to ingest logs from many different sources.

Read MoreTips & Tricks for Building RPM Packages
An RPM (RedHat Package Manager) package is the file format used by RHEL and CentOS, and their package manager yum (now called dnf).
