I had to work with both Proventia Series: M & G; M-Series does its work
normally and it's a pretty much good choice, maybe a little curious the way
it applies the rules on its interfaces (but works fine). On the other hand
G-Series are almost disastrous, plenty of critical bugs and heavy headaches.
At least by now if you have to choose one or another, never take the second
option.

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_serie
s.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
