If you want defence in depth you need personnel who's sole responsibility is to security, and the upkeep of those tools. But I'd hope that people monitoring this list are here because they do take security seriously. All too often buyers will blame the tools rather than their own lack of resources.
I completely agree with the fact that people working in security shouldn't also be responsible for the network, but these two groups have to work together very closely and need access to each other's equipment. You never know if a security person is going to have to turn off someone's port because the machine is infected, or if the network person needs to see the rulesets of the firewall to determine if the network is failing because of a security restriction. Segregating these groups entirely is a bad idea. Put their desks near each other and give them a irc server or some means of instant communication above the noise of email and pagrrs. -john _______________________________________________ firewall-wizards mailing list firewall-wizards () nfr com http://list.nfr.com/mailman/listinfo/firewall-wizards
