Would this not be an overhead for admins, not to mention the learning curb?
Also, would anyone recommend Zone Alarms for someone who is on dialup?

Thanks,

Hi guys,

How much protection do you believe client side firewalls provide? My boss
has asked for my thoughts on a system like Zone Labs are now offering. Can
anyone provide me with their thoughts on what benefits this actually
provides?

Many thanks
