at first blush it seems to be what supposedly WEm is supposed to be able to help do. The whole list of issues e.g platform compatibility, legacy support, and just how well WEM actually does or does not work are all just a big pile of unknowns. That and the fact that Wave has likely cut well into muscle and not just fat (that is what I got from SKS' bindle of dope) in its efforts to stay afloat absent enterprise contracts and in the face of significant senior employee compensation and pet projects may influence their ability to project actual competence (not theoretical, but practical ... a notion SKS indicated in a recent CC).

I don't know the breakdown of the buildup in sales vs R&D (I'm assuming filings to be largely useless in this regard) but it looks like they have sliced $2m from SGA vs $0.3m from RD. The waste appears to be all of the money dumped fruitlessly into sales (a bit of a forecasting breakdown), but I wonder whether Wave can present a competent front or not these days.

I'm still thinking ~$7m Q4 rev, and expect Q1 staff to be missing muscle, and massive SBcomp to retain staff ... and a well stocked supply of barf bags next to micahel's office.

Well, this is interesting and - if the different responses are published - will make it clear if Wave is a player.

I wonder if this is the kind of deal where either McIntel or MS pops up and says they have the solution. And it begins with software and perhaps evolves towards hardware.

I'm still not clear that Wave has a solution that operates across all types of equipment. Indeed, I think it does not.

"DISA issues RFI for trusted endpoint operations
By Defense Systems StaffMar 08, 2013

The Defense Information Systems Agency has issued a request for information for trusted endpoint operations (TEO) technology that can be integrated with Host Based Security System, according to a procurement notice.

DISA's Program Executive Office for Mission Assurance is seeking technology that can furnish enforcement of workflow that introduce changes to managed assets by configuration management and application sandboxing, stated the March 6 announcement on the FedBizOpps website. The capability should flag, defend against, and react to anomalous and unauthorized configurations, the notice said.

The TEO capability should prohibit application and operating system level configuration changes, protect key and high-risk registries and objects, protect integrity of process memory allocations and furnish protection against operating system tampering, the notice said. The capability should detect and provide alerts to event correlation tools by providing actionable intelligence to inform a response.

The TEO capability is expected to be standardized and deployed within the DOD on an enterprise-wide basis or on isolated network enclaves (tactical environments), to strengthen extant DOD endpoint capabilities to protect, detect, diagnose and react to malware and other cyber threats."
