Has anyone here tried implementing a border firewall solution that is ! commercial? Internally I rely heavily on OpenBSD's (running on FreeBSD) Packet filter for numerous IDS/network monitoring sensors. At the same time I maintain our EOL PIX 515's. I have always had a hard time understanding how the latter actually has market value. Is anyone doing neat stuff with free stuff? -----Original Message----- From: The EDUCAUSE Security Constituent Group Listserv on behalf of Jeff Holden Sent: Fri 2/29/2008 5:41 PM To: SECURITY () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU Subject: [SECURITY] Firewall recommendations We are looking at upgrading our campus's firewall. We are currently using a pair of end of life PIX 515s. We have been looking at the Cisco ASA and Juniper Netscreen products. We are very early in our evaluation and haven't talked with any venders yet. We are wondering if any other campus has been through this process recently and can offer any suggestions. We are looking at the bandwidth they can handle, price, added features such as VPN, IDS/IPS functionality, likes and dislikes and any other helpful advise. Currently we are a mixed Cisco and HP shop, but are open to any and all vendors solutions. Thanks, Jeff Holden, CISSP, RHCE Manager, Network & Data Security Mt.
