Hiya,
Our existing firewall deployment leaves me concerned about our security,
here it is:
----- *********
| * DMZ *
************ *********** ************ *********
* Internet * ----- * Router * ----- * Firewall *
************ *********** ************ *********
| * LAN *
----- *********
The firewall we use is Watchguard Firebox II which is great but we're
currently looking to replace it with Checkpoint Firewall-1 on NT4.
Can you suggest some good firewall implementations as the business requires
some of the ports to be open from the DMZ to the LAN and therefore,
punching great big security holes through the firewall...
We have a few servers in the DMZ that need to communicate into the LAN but
we have no requirement for ANY host via the Internet to gain access to the
LAN (no RAS).
Is there a better way, maybe using 2 firewalls to reduce the risk? or
running the DMZ on 2 seperate segments?
I would greatly appreciate any suggestions or URL you may have that will
assist me.
Regards
Simon
