Slightly OT here. In corporate land, where does everyone have AV installed? Currently, we have desktop, NT servers, and email gateway. I am thinking that we need http/ftp scanning via ICAP from our proxy, but Gartner[1] says http/ftp scanning is uneeded. I don't know if I agree.. -OR- Are people installing malicious code detection software, like www.finjan.com?? Also, anyone have any experiance with Garner regarding security items? This AV answer, joined with their latest magic quad. for firewalls and ids is just plain scary. I don't know if I even want to put an ounce of faith in them anymore.
Never understood running AV on servers. How would they get infected? Very little, if any, browser use is permitted on our servers and no email clients are ever run on them. Now, if we're talking about servers in a DMZ, such as web servers, compromises are always a possibility, but very few of those would be caught by an AV. _______________________________________________ firewall-wizards mailing list firewall-wizards () honor icsalabs com http://honor.icsalabs.com/mailman/listinfo/firewall-wizards
