Are copies available. If yes, please send info on how to get it. Or at least what the big stink was about. Thanks. -Steve Laura Taylor wrote:
I wrote a review that was posted on the TEC Security Index called "Can Network Associates Sell Guantlet?" I wrote this article after spending considerable time with two Network Associates employees and talking to many customers, exchanging email with many security professionals, and reviewing many technical sources. Network Associates bombarded TEC with enough threats, emails, and phone calls from their legal team, that we took the article down. Anyone wanting to know more can write to me directly. No, my tires have not been slashed...yet. Laura ----------------------------------------------------------- L. P.

(Okay, maybe it isnt gauntlet, but the feeling is the same). It has an ST which claims it to be EAL4, but I cannot imagine how could that ST got evaluated (not big issues, but I had some formal problems with it). It seems really a secure one for the old-type internet firewall usage, I say it from experience. But do not hit it with big traffic.Gauntlet was ITSEC evaluated at E3, which is roughly equivalent to EAL4. As you may know, it's all in how much security the ST provides ;-) There's lots of EAL3 firewalls around; some of them conform to the NSA firewall PP set, some don't. The company that built Borderware was once a Gauntlet reseller - that may explain the similarities between Borderware and Gauntlet. -Rick _______________________________________________ Firewall-wizards mailing list Firewall-wizards () nfr net http://www.nfr.net/mailman/listinfo/firewall-wizards _______________________________________________ Firewall-wizards mailing list Firewall-wizards () nfr net http://www.nfr.net/mailman/listinfo/firewall-wizards
