Actually, I believe the subject line was mistyped:
"PIX is secure like nothing"

An impressive outburst from the normally mild mannered TWS. Enjoyed it
immensely!

Hi EM,
You are right. PIX is not very secure. It's a router with some
advanced ACLs and does neat routing tricks. But when it comes to security,
you're very very wrong that it's more secure. Hardware doesn't fall from
heaven, and all "hardware" is controlled by software, and Syphco's core
compentancy is not application protection -- it's routing and switching.
I agree that there is no comparison between PIX and ISA -- only
a fool would be convinced that they get any real security from a PIX, becuase
they never took the time to learn about network security and what the end game
was. Check Point? That's another story.
