As Jim says, ISA ain't no router. Have a look at http://support.microsoft.com/?id=888042 for a bit of support for that statement. It for sure belongs in the security realm. What are their arguments for it being a network device? -Shawn ----- Robert Bosch Corporation Technical Systems Analyst (RBNA/CSA1) 38000 Hills Tech Drive - Farmington Hills, MI 48331 - USA phone: 1 (248) 553-1164 fax: 1 (248) 848-6969 shawn.quillman@xxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.bosch.us -----Original Message----- From: epoole@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:epoole@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, January 18, 2005 12:54 PM To: [ISAserver.org Discussion List] Subject: [isalist] Management of ISA? http://www.ISAserver.org I know I've probably asked this before, but we've got a bit of turmoil between our Network team and Information Security. Which Group should manage ISA? Our Network team is not security minded, have no interest in security and are not disciplined in any way. I know I may sound biased, but in Information Security we have had ISA Server 2000 running with Surf Control and no downtimes for about 2 years. It's constantly patched, updated (we currently have ISA Server 2004 in testing), logs reviewed, etc. Anyway, I got blindsided yesterday. The Network team feels it is more of a network device as opposed to a security device and want to take over administration. Our Director has asked that we prepare something that demonstrates where ISA should belong. So, I thought I would ask the experts. Side note - Unfortunately, we only use ISA as an authenticating proxy and limited firewall. The network team has yet to build ISA into their architecture. ------------------------------------------------------ List Archives: http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=isalist ISA Server Newsletter: http://www.isaserver.org/pages/newsletter.asp ISA Server FAQ: http://www.isaserver.org/pages/larticle.asp?type=FAQ ------------------------------------------------------ Other Internet Software Marketing Sites: World of Windows Networking: http://www.windowsnetworking.com Leading Network Software Directory: http://www.serverfiles.com No.1 Exchange Server Resource Site: http://www.msexchange.org Windows Security Resource Site: http://www.windowsecurity.com/ Network Security Library: http://www.secinf.net/ Windows 2000/NT Fax Solutions: http://www.ntfaxfaq.com ------------------------------------------------------ You are currently subscribed to this ISAserver.org Discussion List as: shawn.quillman@xxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe visit http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=isalist Report abuse to listadmin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
