I've been on a mailing list for Cisco for quite some time now & I love how these people argue - it's very funny. One guy will crack and joke about how Microsoft Machines need to be secured and the Window System admin would have to bust his ass in order to secure it and a Linux Administrator would only take half an hour maximum to secure his Linux box.
However I agree with both ends, I firmly believe that Windows has it's place and Linux has it's on place as well. I think I can brief explain it as "It depends on what you want for your network"
Think we overuse Firewalls? Underuse firewalls?
In my opinion - I think very many companies don't underuse or overuse firewalls, yet actually MISuse firewalls. I think a simple ACL on a Layer 3 Device would do the trick, 9 times out of 10. An ACL is just a Access List on the router to allow/dissallow connections and/or packets.
Anybody want to do some opinioning with me? |

| 9 times out of 10, probably. Depending on the size of your company, you could very well want a lot of protection from possibly compromised machines on the inside of the network connecting out as well. Especially if you have a lot of employees taking laptops home to most likely unprotected networks. |

| I agree, ACL's are the way to go for companies. The ACL runs on a hardware device that is dedicated to routing/filtering traffic. The routing protocols allow you to configure the whole network as one, and the network will basically manage itself (unless of course you need to add static routes). Once the routing is in place all you have to do is create the ACL, apply it to an interface, then enable it in or out. ACL > Firewall. The only disadvantage I see is that you can't really edit the ACL's. You can only add/remove statements on a named ACL; you have to rewrite (or repaste it from notepad) the whole ACL if you want to edit it. But really that isn't a big disadvantage. Let computers do their thing (computing/information processing, etc), and let the networking devices manage the traffic. |

louis vuitton and louis vuitton Speedy 30are all over the world as representative of the amount of manual processing, design and status. To this day, Louis Vuitton products are all handmade and strictly controlled to prevent counterfeit products. Even if you purchase the brand from a department store, she was sold by well-trained employees Vuitton.
The story of how the original Louis Vuitton Neverfull MM became a world-renowned brand and status symbol is a rags-to-riches story in the late 19 Century began. In 1835 at the age of 14 years, before he knew anything about luggage, he walked 249 miles to a new life in Paris to make. In 1854 he opened his first boutique in Paris with his flat-top trunks (other tribes of the time stock was rounded off), not stackable, hat boxes, and other travel luxury for the rich. In 1892, Louis Vuitton died and left the business to his son George, who wasted Monogram Canvas Neverfull no time in the name of a global brand. |
