Security Basics: RE: Converting Checkpoint to ASA

["Tony Reusser" <treusser () filertel com>]

Maybe you just don't know how to configure it properly.  Check Point IMHO
beats Cisco ASA any day of the week.  Here's my opinion:  Ditch the ASA and
upgrade your Check Point.  You will have a far superior firewall.

by just getting the right IOS, I can convert my old Checkpoint to an ASA
firewall.

That's hilarious, we just did the same thing at work too...

Checkpoint has just proven to be rather, well...crappy as of late.  Way
too much $$$ for what you get.
