There is no CS-MARS replacement product offered by Cisco directly. What they do instead is publish a list of "Technology Partners" that offer SIEM solutions recommended for use in Cisco environments.

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
The original MARS concept was a Monitoring-Analysis-and-Re sponse System, but based on the reliability of the device, I don't think anyone used it for Response.
The primary functionality as a log collection and correlation tool is fairly common, you can use any free or commercial SIEM system, like syslog-ng, Splunk, etc.
As for response, your are better off with a proper IDS/IPS system, either Cisco or from any other vendor.
