Thread regarding SAS Institute layoffs

SAS Cyber Security... Does SAS have such a product? If not, why not.

I know we have SAS Fraud but it's more financial/banking /credit card fraud.
Wonder why we don't have a full-fledged SAS Cybersecurity product.
And why isn't the US taking cyber security more seriously?

“Was it called IT Service Vision or some catchy name like that?”

Good memory!

Was it called IT Service Vision or some catchy name like that?

Is it still around? If so. why - and how long has it been since a new customer was added?

Does SAS have a policy/procedure of how to handle loser products?

IIRC, the SAS product in this realm was sort of a knee-je-k reaction after 9/11, driven by market sentiment, but with no real market expertise, just "get a product out there quick"?

And then there were other things, like what the guy who looks like Mayhem used to run.

there was a product called that many years ago. it never really took off. it was late to the market and not strong enough to compete with established competitors who had deeper pockets, better interfaces, easier installs and better support.

kind of like pretty much every other sas product ever.

Isn't that what the dude with the golf tan ran before he came to SAS?
