A year or two ago, in the blackhat session, a gentlement talked about appliance firewall comparison. CISCO PIX is one of the product compared but Nokia was not. When the audience asked why Nokia was not on the list, the speaker said that it did not meet certain pre-selection criteria, so it was left out. Anyone know why the speaker in the blackhat session believe that Nokia is not good enough ?? In general, anybody has any comment on the Nokia (good and bad) ??
Since I know the presenter, I can say that it wasn't a problem with Nokia being good enough or not. They just didn't have availability to a Nokia system for evaluation/testing at the time. Similar statements are made in many magazine reviews when a vendor is only able to supply beta systems but the review criteria call for a production release of a product. -paul _______________________________________________ firewall-wizards mailing list firewall-wizards () nfr com http://www.nfr.com/mailman/listinfo/firewall-wizards
