Hi everyone.
Currently I’m on a project to review our existing security measures and formulate a new security strategy which then will be presented at a management meeting when my information is complete and accurate.
Looking into firewall solutions, Cisco’s PIX 506 Firewall caught my attention. I’d like to know if anyone is familiar with PIX firewalls and if they could provide some general advice/info on them for me.
-How much would a PIX 506 solution cost?
-How capable is it as a firewall, are the things I hear true. People tell me PIX Firewalls are among the best firewalls ever created and offer excellent protection.
-How complex are they to install (this is a curiousity question, even if its “complex” to install I’ll welcomethe challenge)
-I’m assuming they use IOS to interface and configure them, is this true? If not what DO they use?
Thanks for all your help in advance.
-Tom
