I would like to ask the group for pros and cons, and their views on
selecting a future platform for CP firewalls, either as single
gateways or as modules.

A client needs to decide which platform will be used to host
enforcement modules/single gateways in the future. Current candidates
are SecurePlatform, plain Linux, or W2K. Support personnel is mostly
familiar with NT/W2K, but they are capable of learning Linux too :-)

Some points to consider are:

Security/difficulty of hardening the platform (pls, no holy OS wars)
Stability
Popularity of use in said capacity
ease of management/remote management
CP future plans for the platform
cost
updating (security wise) needed
anything else you may want to add

TIA,

Shimon Silberschlag
