Introduction to stoQ

Simply put: we were tired of wasting time.  As network defenders, we have seen the market explode with countless security tools promising better awareness, functionality, and speed (we'll make you taller AND better looking!!!).  Unfortunately, most of these solutions have one thing in common -- they don't talk to each other, and in many cases, results are lost the moment our screen scrolls away or our browser window closes. As analysts, we have been frustrated by this inefficiency for some time now.  It doesn't have to be this difficult. We just want our data, and we want to be able to easily search it in our datastore of choice.  So, we decided to do something about it.
