Cisco PIX firewall security series are hardware firewalls runing what are considered hardened IOS. These are hardware and not software firewalls. They have many security features not found in other units also I recommend SonicWall, Netscreen.All of them can support from 10 to thousands computers and have advanced & stong security management tools such as:
- schedule based rules, Dos protection, VPN server/client , Qos/tos management, and you are looking at a lot of money here for this kind of hardware. For the average person on one OS software is the best. And since you are using Norton , you could not have picked a better software. Right now Norton ranks number one after being tested against other software firewalls. As long as you continue to get your updates , you should be in tip top shape. BTW, many test were run on NORTON and it came out smelling like a rose on the leak test and all other test that they tested NORTON on. Right now the two top ones , are NORTON and Zone Alarm , but many are questioning that Zone Alarm is spyware because when it say click here to uninstall.. it doesn't completely . That is another story all it's own I won't get into. But stick with what you have. You made a wide choice. (BTW I am here posting as our board is getting worked on and is not up)
