I have looked at some of the other UTM appliances, but not in depth. Is
there one that you would recommend looking at?

Hello everyone,
I was wondering if anyone out ther has experience with ISS's Proventia
product line. If you are not familiar :
http://www.iss.net/products_services/enterprise_protection/proventia/m_series.php
What are your thoughts on this particular device? What about other
similar integrated security solutions? I know that it might not be the
best thing to "put all your eggs in one basket", so to speak, by using
an all in one appliance. However, I have a limited buget, limited
time, ... you all know what I am talking about. The real trouble is I
am handling ALL aspects of computing technology for my company ranging
from software/web developer, sys admin, network admin (yes I do the
cabling too), you get the picture. Now, I would love to be able to
have the time to have a firewall + IDS + etc... setup on, for instance,
a properly configured SELinux box (which I still might do BTW), but a
semi-managed solution is very appealing to me time-wise (my time) and
staff-wise (me). Any help along these lines is greatly appreciated.
Current usage is :
1) Workstation web access
2) WebDAV server through HTTPS
3) SSH tunneling
Additional future usage :
1) Web application server ASP.NET (to be moved from remote host to
apache with mod_mono)
2) Remote/Mobile office locations
If you need to know more, please let me know. Thanks everyone,
Zak
