Other than the fact that ISA is configured by humans, and humans make
mistakes.

 

Oh, and what about an admin using IE on the ISA server?

 

What if someone is working on ISA, and they need to use a CD or floppy?

Hi John,

 

Excellent point. Maybe I should rethink my approach to AV on the firewall. I
figure that if no one has write access to the firewall from a network
location, and I don't run any client software on the firewall, that I should
be fairly safe. Can you think of a scenario that would allow a virus onto
the box given those parameters?

 

(excluding the possibility that someone brings a virus infected CD, floppy
or USB "drive" to the firewall)

 

Thanks!

Tom
