Re: firewall structure support

["C. K. Lung" <clung () abuse hotmail com>]

It's hard to say -

A firewall administrator may have the following three functions -

1) Setting up, configuring, and maintaining
1.1) a firewall or firewalls
1.2) a VPN or VPNs
1.3) Clustering of firewalls

2) Managing (create, modify and delete) policies

3) Trouble-shooting

The more competent the firewall administrator is, the more firewalls and VPNs he/she could manage!

This is my 2 cents!

  Good day,
  Is anyone is aware if there is "reference" paper that give some idea about how many
  people is needed to maintain and support a firewall structure (and maybe also VPN) , something like the number of 
personnel per service/client. As far as I am concern it should be on a case by case basis but management really love 
those "official" report and up to now I could not find anything other than, it is related to your network 
configuration, make sense but... 

  Any pointer would be nice

  Thanks

  Paul
