Dominant impression: "If you can’t say it, you don’t know it." So many booths; so little idea of what they do. I know they don’t do everything.

None of us do. Not even the titans of the infosec industry. So one of us: either yours truly or the infosec marketing collective mind is belaboring under a fundamental misconception. And it would be so nice if one of us were disabused of it. This sounds ludicrous as I write it but are companies consciously trying to hide the space in which they play? I can see that there are some disadvantages to be pigeon-holed or typecast. Those are negative terms. But isn’t "targeted" and "qualified" the other, positive, side of that coin?

Here’s a few exhibitors where you can walk up, understand what they offer at a glance and get some real information from someone that understand what their company does and offers. These certainly aren’t the only companies with great technologies but these make it easy for you find them:

LogRhythm - Powerful SIEM with a massive investment in "knowledge engineering" and log normalization
Lumension - Awesome endpoint security. Cut every head of the endpoint security medusa with on agent and a single pane of glass
STEALTHbits - Powerful yet affordable technology for data access governance
ManageEngine - Affordable, easy-to-use SIEM and other cool solutions like privileged password management
SolarWinds - Affordable, easy-to-use SIEM with normalization
Dell Software - Staggering array of IAM and GRC technology
