RE: Cisco 836 Firewall

What about malware coming in from email / HTTP / - Backdoors or blended
threats that arrive via the affore mentioned means, they then open up
Reverse conenctions out through your unprotected network [If a Firewall was
in evidence then you would state which rules and which sockets were allowed
out] You would also implement Personal Firewalls as well on each client
 
Surley a Firewall is more than just protecting connections into your LAN?
 
Just my opionion anyway

Hello,
 
does anybody know a good and secure Setup for a CISCO 836 integrated
firewall? As of my knowledge, I dont need a firewall, when using dynamic
nat. All PCs use one ip to the internet, and no global to local IP mappings
were added, so the network should not be attackable from the outside. AM I
right with this?
 
Thans in Advance
 
Mit freundlichen Grüßen
