Re: What security package for SBS?

I do agree with you all, but this conversation went in a wrong way...I was
asking about security enterprise
products, not only about AV. And frankly saying, nothing is goint to secure
Windows....at all!

I use hardware firewall's, I manage Linux based networks/servers and few
windows. But the question was not
how to build a proper network, but it was all about the product I have to
chose for the amount of money I have and I can not go over :/

So please, if someone has any experience with TM/Sohpos/Kaspersky/NOD,
please share with me :)

Hi,

You're right, a home network is not the same as a SMB network (unless of
course you are running your business from home and remotely administering
100's of client's server etc) but Susan's pointing out that you need
something other than an AV solution firewall. Please bear in mind also
that none of the 'all in one' security solutions is going to give you a
server 'personal' software firewall, the firewall function is only going
to install/work on the client machines. You need a hardware firewall to
protect your server (alternatively, you could use ISA with SBS Premium -
my preferrence would be hardware but it's your choice).

Regards Colin.

Hi,

There is a basic netgear firewall in front of the network.
I wouldn't compare home network with SMB, especailly with services
running on open ports :P

Throw in a second nic and you have a firewall.. even a Linksys is
preferable to using the built in firewall in the a/v sofware.

I use the XP and Vista firewalls on the desktop and use two nics and
Linksys at home.

I agree with Claus on Trend but disagree with you on the Firewall
issue. Get a separate Firewall and don't rely on your AV product for
firewall protection.

I recommend Trend 3.6 for all my Clients. I disable the Personal
Firewall and use ISA or External Firewall Appliance.
