Arggh,
Are Online Security Services that charges lots of money really worth
it? If anyone from the press is reading this thread. This would make for
a great in-depth article. Similiar to a Firewall BakeOff. Ask those
vendors who offer this kind of service to respond to a simulated RFP and
simulated network profile and see what they come up with, and then rank them.
This would satisfy my confusion.
/cheers
