[Modus] Firewalls for ISPs

[Denis Auger]

Welcome to the club, actually we are experiencing about 300 intrusion detection each day. Fortunately nobody were able to penetrate the shield yet.   Because you are on the front line you must take care about that and by the way, protect also yourself from your own customers !!! They are a source of hacking L   Denis Auger President Internet Design http://www.ddi.qc.ca   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of Admin Sent: Thursday, February 12, 2004 10:59 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Modus] Firewalls for ISPs   We are a small ISP and are concerned about the increase in security problems in Windows.  It seems every few days Microsoft releases security patches.  I have also seen on the Internet that source code for Windows 2000 and NT have leaked out on the Net.   We use all Windows servers connected to the net through a Cisco 2620.  My question is this.... What do the rest of you do for firewall protection? Am I going to have to invest is an expensive hardware firewall and hire on an employee (which I can't really afford) to do full-time security maintenance?     AK Internet Less expensive and more personal than Earthlink, AOL, and MSN 641 E. 10th Avenue Bowling Green, KY  42101 270-793-0647 voice 270-843-7532 fax [EMAIL PROTECTED]
