Another important question is who is going to be managing the firewall once it gets purchased and installed? Buying a PIX is great but not if you don't have anyone that knows how to use it. This applies to any vendors solution be it Checkpoint, IPTables, PIX, netscreen, etc..
Also by proxy do you mean statefull packet inspection? -Brent At 03:07 PM 3/16/2004, Nicole wrote:
As much as I hate to follow up my own post, I suppose I was a bit too vauge for my own good =] We do not run any cisco gear and we are in a Class A data facility. By proxy I did not mean to imply NAT. I cannot remember the proper term but what I mean is full packet handeling as opposed to packet inspection.Security is important but the budget limit is only up to about 3K. I have beentrying to get the client a firewall for some time and am just now getting the go ahead. Sorry for any vaugeness but I usually like to not say to much as to sway opinions one way or another and to learn more as any knowlege I have may be wrong or out of date.
