RE: Personal Firewalls

["Robert Driscoll" <driscoll_r () primesource com>]

Has anyone had a chance to check out a product called CyberArmor from
InfoExpress?
We are currently looking into this product, its centrally managed, and has
customizeable
rulesets that are automatically downloadable. There are a few things I'm not
quite certain
about, for example its ability to customize based on user. In the few days I
have played with
it, it doesn't seem to be very flexible that way. It does have mechanisms to
test the clients
connection (Corporate LAN, Remote Access, VPN, Internet)

If anyone is using this product or has evaluated it I would appreciate
hearing their experience.

The Norton Internet Security Suite is just that, a bundle of different
workstation security tools. It has a content filter for the browser, the
antivirus product, the desktop firewall and something they call privacy
control (doesn't let your personal info to be sent out to the inet).

The firewall that comes with NIS is the Norton Personal Firewall, the
consumer version of Symantec Desktop Firewall, which is for corporate use. I
don't know of any real differences between the 2, they just use the Norton
name for the consumer products because of the name recognition.

This is what I'm confused about... I already played with the eval version of
Symantec Desktop Firewall... I looked at the screen shots of NIS and it
looks like the identical product (I know about the NAV bundling).

What gives here? What's the difference between the two products, if at all?
Is this Symantec playing marketing games?

Norton Internet Security 2001 from Symantec.

Works very well for remote management. Can update rule sets remotely. The
fact that it has the ability to define granular rule sets put it ahead of
ice imho.

We liked Black Ice as well; however, we feel that a virus scanner is also
necessary on any computer that connects to our network.  NIS2001 is an
integrated product that behaves very nicely (in our experience) that
includes a firewall, anti-virus, etc.
