Personal Firewalls for Administrators and Remote Users

Ellen Messmer writes: While this book feels a bit like hanging over the shoulder of a network administrator on a tough day installing desktop firewalls for a large company, you have to admire the sheer guts of the book's author, Lisa Yeo, a systems analyst with the Legislative Assembly office in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.

That's because Yeo dares to speak out on what she perceives as the technical strengths and weaknesses of most of the major personal (desktop) firewalls on the market today. Which means if you want to know about these products from the likes of Internet Security Systems, ZoneLabs, Symantec, Network Associates, among others, you'd better buy this book in the next month or it may be out-of-date the way the market changes in the network business.

Personal Firewalls for Remote Access Users

"Administrators of enterprise level networks often don't pay much attention to the personal firewall market. After all, you need something much more sophisticated to protect your corporate network. But what about the telecommuters and on-the-road executives who connect to your company's network from remote locations? This article looks at how and why you should develop a policy requiring that remote access users have personal firewalls installed - and enabled! - and how to enforce that policy, as well as an overview of some of the personal firewall products available that will do the job at low or no cost."
