Re: What is the Best Firewall Between Norton & ZoneAlarm

ISA 2004 is Microsoft software that integrates into the SBS 2003 install if
you upgrade to the Premium Edition. I like it very much but others prefer a
hardware firewall such as the Sonicwall.

That would probably work...

I'm not very familiar w/ ISA 2004... is it the same thing as a SonicWall,
meaning a physical router, or software?

The SonivWall is a bit pricey...

I don't think the CEO will go for that... Any other suggestions?

Hello,

The company I work for is going to be getting a Dedicated T1 line
next
week... our current router has a built-in firewall that was
preconfigured...

I am wondering what would be the best firewall program to use w/ SBS
2003 Standard Edition... I know that ISA 2004 comes w/ the Premium
edition, but I'm not sure about the standard edition...

Right now, the two choices are ZoneAlarm Pro, and Norton Firewall
2006... Unless someone else can suggest something that would be more
beneficial??

Thanks in advance
Jeremy

None of these. Theydon't belong on your server - and I frankly don't
like
them on workstations, either.

You don't get ISA with Standard.

I suggest you get a better firewall than whatever your ISP is putting
in
the
router (it's probably just NAT). I personally like SonicWALL - good
bang
for
the buck. Check out the TZ170 series.....
