Eh, Ive seen where each computer having its own firewall behind a firewall, has caused nothing but problems. As a general rule, I just say no. Let the main firewall do its job.
If its a laptop that is taken out of the company, then yes, but disabled when on the corporate network.

It will be the same everyone has on their laptops so management will be easy.

Do you mean you are going to implement Windows Firewall or some other software firewall? Or are you going to be putting physical hardware firewalls on everyones desk?!?! _____ From: René de Haas [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, January 16, 2008 8:00 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Security: Firewall on desktops that don't leave the company? Hi All, Asking for opinions. Was informed that we are going to put firewalls on desktop pcs as well, though there is a firewall at the perimeter of the network. One motivation was that with a pentest from the inside we would be more secure. Are you doing this as well? Arguments for/against.
