Re: Information on Raptor

[jcrooks () CDNX CA (James Crooks)]

This type of FUD (fear / uncertainty / doubt) is usually spread
around by the sales-droids and pet engineers of a competing
product...

You can check out various firewall feature lists via the site
http://www.gocsi.com/ (there are automated comparison tools there
that give you a first blush comparison of various products...

If you do find out concrete, specific flaws in Raptor - please pass
them on to me and the list!

We are using multiple Raptor systems in most Internet and Extranet
situations in proxy, VPN and filtered null tunnel modes of
operation.

_ANY_ firewall can be configured to reduce the level of protection
afforded. Unfortunately there are no flashing warning signs when
this happens and it may be a hacker knocking over your internal
systems that provides the first warning...
