Mark
& FW-1 Newsgroup readers,
SecurityPortal.com had an article several weeks ago
about stateful firewalling in the 2.4 kernel. See the following
link.
There
are a number of companies with 500, 250, 100 users or less that are
considering which firewall makes the most sense for their environment. These
companies might identify stateful firewalling, IPSec client vpn, and IPSec LAN
to LAN vpn as key features.
What is the big picture? How much competition will an improved collection
of free Linux security tools be to Check Point in a price sensitive SMB market?
CPVP-VIG-100-3DES-V41 List $8,495
vs. Linux Solution $0.00
How many IT managers might decide that the additional security is not
worth the price?
I'm
not advocating one solution over another. I would just like to hear what avid
Check Point supporters think of some of other firewall/vpn products in general
and the new features in the 2.4 kernel specifically.

Subject: [FW1] Linux/Checkpoint Statefull inspection comparisonHi all,
The Linux kernel now has stateful inspection from what I have read. Have any of you compared it to Checkpoint's stateful inspection? If so, how do you think it compares? Is it just a cheap immitation, or is it worth the while?C:\Mark
