"If you haven't got a security policy, you haven't got a firewall. Instead,

you've got a thing that's sort of doing something, but you don't know what

it's trying to do because no one has told you what it should do." - Marcus

Ranum

We hasve a listing of most firewals and a place to add a review. Help us

Cyber Security
http://www.4terrorism.com/listtemp.htm

Computers and networks essentially run the operations of most business in the

country. Most computer systems, computer software and networks were not

designed with security in mind. Even most "secure systems" are riddled with

vulnerabilities due to the underlying technology that could enable an

attacker to disrupt operations or cause damage. Many cybersecurity

technologies that can be used to protect critical infrastructures from attack

are currently available. In a few years there will be many more.

Far better is to have secure software in the first place, rather than
try to hide an insecure mess behind a firewall. "Security by obscurity"
simply does not work.

Move to linux (or unix or mvs or some other non-virus vulnerable OSes)
and rid the world of all the MS-virus, MS-worm, MS-trojan stupidness!

Firewalls should not be needed for 'security'.

(They have other uses, but not just for MS-viruses.)
