RE: Enterprise Personal Firewall Solution

if you are going to put firewalls across all clients, your help desk calls
are sure to go through the roof. I am not aware of any solution which has
central management for 1000 firewall engines.

for a personal firewall(for a small number of mobile devices say), you can
try CA's eTrust EZ Armor firewall. It comes free. you can download it from
http://www.ca.com
I havent used it personally, so I cant certify as to how good it is. suffice
to say it also comes packaged with Microsoft security update CD (feb '04) -
might indicate user friendliness and security to you, or maybe the opposite
as well.

my 2 cents

Subject: Enterprise Personal Firewall Solution

We're in the process of looking for a personal firewall solution to use
within the corporate environment.  We have firewalls on the perimeter of
the network; however, we need a solution for laptops and potentially all
clients.  We need a solution that can centrally manage over 1000
workstations.  Any solutions you would recommend or experiences whether
good or bad with the ones out there would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
