I can vouch for the Sygate solution. I have installed it for several
companies and everyone loves it. There is nothing you can't do with it. For
example, you can configure different security policies for different
locations. So you could have a very restrictive one when you are connected
to a WIFI hotspot and only allow only terminal services traffic over your
VPN adapter while allowing Internet Explorer traffic through the WIFI
adapter. There is also built in Intrusion Prevention with downloadable rules
form Sygate. There is also a Patch enforcement element, where you can make
sure that everyone accessing your network has a minimum patch version and
you can also restrict versions of software that can access the network. You
could allow only IE6 with the latest services packs, so a user trying to use
IE5 would not be able to get access to any websites unless they upgraded.
I hope this helps, and just for the record I do not work for Sygate........

Sygate has an awesome solution for exactly what you want to do, called
Sygate Secure Enterprise. You can group computers, set them up in a
hierarchical fashion, log centrally and more.

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,
-Brett
