http://www.ISAserver.org ------------------------------------------------------- I agree, while there were some aspects of the program itself that I didn't like, SurfControl did (still does) work reasonably well with ISA2006. But, they are not going to continue selling SurfControl after the first half of next year. They will support existing installations of it until 2011, but there will be a concentrated effort to migrate everyone to WebSense instead. Since we are going to have to install another product soon (not much of a choice), it is a good time to start looking at our options. Right now we have a pretty short list: 1. Continue on with SurfControl, and replace it with WebSense when it comes time (might require additional hardware). 2. Replace it with the new version of GFI's WebMonitor. 3. Integrate a separate network appliance with filtering options (Ugh!). I'm going go to even consider blacklist/whitelist options... -----Original Message----- From: isalist-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:isalist-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Roy Tsao Sent: Wednesday, October 10, 2007 1:17 PM To: isalist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [isalist] Re: ISA 2006 + Websense http://www.ISAserver.org ------------------------------------------------------- Dan, The news about Websense share-in surfcontrol has been listed in Surfcontrol website for several monthes already, however I believe it is good product still. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ball, Dan" <DBall@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <isalist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, October 10, 2007 7:36 PM Subject: [isalist] Re: ISA 2006 + Websense > http://www.ISAserver.org > ------------------------------------------------------- > > This is an interesting, and timely, discussion.
