RE: Centrally managed desktop firewall/endpoint security

Do you use cisco for a vpn connection on your end users laptops?  If so
there is a conflict with Checkpoint Integrity and Cisco VPN version 4.x.
The conflict has caused numerous troubles for our end users and many
headaches for me.  Also, when the chekpoint integrity client is not
shutdown properly (due to Sleep mode/suspend, lockup, or holding down
the power button) it will revert back to its original state (no policy)
and block most network connections.

In other words I wouldn't recommend Checkpoint Integrity.

Subject: Centrally managed desktop firewall/endpoint security

I've been looking for a centrally managed desktop firewall/endpoint
security solution to tighten our notebook security policy but I am
having a hard time finding any good reviews/group tests.  So far I have
come across the following:

InfoExpress CyberArmor
eEye Blink professional
Check Point Integrity

The problem is that I'm at a business with less then 30 notebooks so the
per computer price is extremely high with the central server
requirements (although I think Blink comes with the management software
included).  What products have other people used and found effective?
I'm really looking for something with a solid firewall for inbound
traffic and program control for outbound.

Thanks in advance
