Would anyone be willing to share how many firewall administrators they have to secure how many firewalls. I have been asking vendors, managed security services providers, as well as other agencies and continue to get conflicting information. One person can run between 10 and 100 firewalls? Could you also give me insight on your answer? Do these people have other duties, are the firewalls screening for large networks with DMZ's or smaller ones? What are your personal opinions about staffing needs. We will be using Provider-1 as a management solution.
Also, I have the same question about Real Secure IDS with a Site Protector management solution, I'm hoping that many on this Checkpoint list also use Real Secure IDS. I would appreciate any information. And before anyone says it, I realize that it depends upon your rulebase, number of changes, logging, etc... I'm just trying to find some sort of an industry average.
