RE: Firewalls Compared

["Laura Taylor" <ltaylor () relevanttechnologies com>]

I would have responded sooner but I was under some tight deadlines to get
some work done....

I wrote some articles on how to buy a firewall a few years ago. They are a
little dated in that there are some new features and functionality that
exists on leading products today, that did not exist when I wrote these
articles. However, many of the basic principles still exist, and some of the
tips might at least help you get going in selecting a firewall.

If you decide to read these articles, let me know if you find any mistakes.
I might not have had enough cups of coffee when I wrote them and if I write
any new articles on this topic, I am always open to suggestions for
improvements.

In my not so copious freetime, I am working on a dynamic spreadsheet that
mathematically tabulates firewall decision-making and selection by
components. However, being a single Mom with a full-time job doesn't leave
me much time to do the fun stuff so it will be awhile before this is
anywhere near finished....
