Hi<br />
<br />
&nbsp;I am looking for some recommendation for a firewall or ISA that will be installed at our Head office<br />
<br />
1. We have a HO (which has got internal and external facing) servers and need to isolate the servers by putting it on a DMZ. We also have an Altiris Deployment server that connects to all our remote sites and need to protect that as well.<br />
2. This device will only be used as the second firewall or ISA to protect the HO from the remote sites and provide some sort of content filtering and web filtering to HO.<br />
3. There is a nokia firewall installed the gateway firewall (managed by ISP) and all our external traffic are going thorugh this firewall<br />
4. HO has got around 50 users and 6 servers and few laptops and wireless network and a 10 mb line<br />
<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Can some one recommend a cost effective solution to achieve all the above ?<br />
<br />
regards<br />

Firewall recommendations

Security is the protection of information systems from theft or damage to the hardware, the software, and the information on them, as well as from disruption or misdirection of the services they provide. The main goal of security is protecting assets, and an asset is anything of value and worthy of protection.  Information Security is a discipline of protecting information assets from threats through safeguards to achieve the objectives of confidentiality, integrity, and availability or CIA for short. On the other hand, disclosure, alteration, and disruption (DAD) compromise the security objectives.

Security

Hardware-based firewalls provide more sophisticated protection for inbound and outbound traffic than the simple Windows software firewall or the basic NAT firewalls found in routers. These devices implement techniques such as stateful packet inspection, deep packet inspection, and content filtering; and may include built-in antivirus and anti-malware protection.

Hardware Firewalls

Microsoft Forefront, formerly known as Internet Security and Acceleration Server (ISA Server), is a network router, firewall, antivirus program, VPN server and web cache that runs on Windows servers. It includes identity management and protection systems, and discontinued systems for threat management and network protection, along with protection for Sharepoint and Exchange. The scope of discussions includes forward and reverse proxy, application and service publishing, virtual private networks (VPNs), outbound access rules, SSL certificates and network routing within either a single node or an highly-available array pairing.
