Hi Ara,
 
NO. What he's saying is that you can benefit from additional application
layer inspection. So-called "hardware" firewalls with simple stateful
packet filtering definitely do not protect your network. So, you use ISA
firewalls with AV, AS, etc. to complete the ISA firewall's role as a
unified threat management device. But even without the additional
stateful application layer inspection, its built-in layer 7 inspection
makes is far more secure than simple hardware stateful filtering devices
(some of which cost you over $30,000, although you get NetBEUI support
with those 'advanced' firewalls)
 
HTH,

So this follows my concern on forums that you can't just trust a single
Microsoft solution and has to be mixed with other protections
