Re: so much for "deny all"

Just because they sell it does not mean you have to buy it. You can
still do deny all to your heart's content and let the people who need
(or think they need) the big expensive smarter-than-me firewall buy
that.

From the TechTarget coverage of the Gartner Security Summit this week:

"Next generation firewalls that do deep-packet inspections from vendors like
Juniper Networks, Check Point and Fortinet employ a heuristics engine and
allow all network traffic and behavior, except those which policy says it
must block. Most enterprises, however, refresh their firewall purchases on a
three- to five-year cycle and that makes it challenging to synch new
features."

*sigh*
