It works but it is difficult to say how effective it is since the two
situations are not the same.

Forgive the derailing of this thread, but given all the chatter
regarding Palo Alto, I am very curious to know how effective the
product is at stopping malware.  PA touts they have strong anti
malware protection - is this in fact true?  Have any of you noticed
a drop in
your end point infections?

I will also give a +1 to Palo Alto, We replaced a pair of aging
Nortel branded check points with a pair of PA 5020's. We are very
pleased with them and I personally would recommend them as well. A
lot deeper view into what's happening on the network as well. Rule
creation is not bad either once yopu get the mind shift changed to
zone / application
based vrs just a port based FW.

We are looking into upgrading our Firewall. I was wondering if anyone
had anything to offer in regards to what you are using and the
pros/cons associated to it.

Thanks,

Dan
