I stand corrected. =)
I did not study the product as thoroughly as I had believed. I went to
the site a couple of months back and I must have totally missed the Sentry
version.
Does Sentry see all the traffic on a loaded 100Mb segment? Or does it
have to work with Pro (the way RS does to get around the
bandwidth/switched problem)?
After a second look, I would be interested in checking their IcePac Suite.
Does it really measure up against Real Secure?
