RE: Re: Firewalls Compared

["Christopher Lee" <clee () myhome homeip net>]

Joel did a good job in that article, especially taking into consideration
the differences on every product does its "application layer inspection".
At the same time, I don't think Joel took into consideration that some of
the products evaluated in his article (such as Check Point) leverages a
subscription-based signature update service to stay on top of the latest
"popular" threats.

Since you are looking at Check Point in this case.  Do refer to the
following URL on Check Point's official public info in this particular
aspect:
http://www.checkpoint.com/products/technologies/ai.html

Cheers,

Chris

Back in March 2004, Information Security Magazine published some 
comparisons between the two. Perhaps the following URL is helpful to you.
