Be interesting to get the communities take on this article.
It was covered on slashdot a couple of weeks ago. It starts off with grand contentious statements such as "I proposed to our technology architects that we eliminate our network firewalls", but in the details we see that they implement a tiered structure with a DMZ and ACLs on layer-3 switches, which from a distance looks a lot like a firewall structure to me. So, they seem to have got rid of the commercial boxes with "FIREWALL" on the front, and implemented defence in depth. Good on them for thinking about the problem and implementing a nice workable solution, but its hardly new. -- Kerry Thompson CCNA CISSP http://www.crypt.gen.nz _______________________________________________ firewall-wizards mailing list firewall-wizards () honor icsalabs com http://honor.icsalabs.com/mailman/listinfo/firewall-wizards
