Hi,
I'm new to the world of security. I've been lurking on this list, and
reading on my own. As well as playing with Linux and my cable Internet
connection. Which got me interested in security in the first place.
My boss has asked me to investigate the various firewall/proxy solutions
that would work for our company. I know there are some really
experienced and knowledgeable people on this list. So I am seeking help
from you in an informal survey.
While money is a factor in the equation, as always, the purchase of
Commercial products is a possibility. Open source (free) products such
as Linux are being considered as well.
If you could install (almost) anything you wanted, what would it be?
And what OS would you prefer?
For instance I know Firewall-1 is the most popular firewall product on
the market. So ...
Would you install Unix and Firewall-1?
Linux and Firewall-1?
Would you install NT and Firewall-1?
Or given the option to use a product such as Firewall-1 (or other
commercial) would you even consider ....
Linux and ipchains/squid?
In essence, if you are able to afford an commercial product, would you
even consider an open source?
Is Linux and ipchains/squid/TIS FWTK/etc a security risk?
Thanks for taking time to read and respond to my questions,
Kelly Scroggins
