Re: [fw-wiz] Provocative Query: Are firewalls obsolete in a world involving enterprise WebService SOA


Hi George,

I can't agree more, those jewels are priceless.

That's also why I'm still subscribing to this list. And it's always good to read
the grey-beards when morale is low.

When people will understand that they need a risk assessment to build a security
policy which will drive the settings rules of FW, routers, operating system and
so on; IT Security will be back on track to a brighter future.

Cheers,
JDG

JDG,

You may be right, but I stay subscribed because the signal-to-
noise ratio on this list is still much better than on any of
the other lists
to which I subscribe (and there are too many). And I think
that there
are more who are interested in the evolution and philosophy of
IT security than you might believe. There is still a core of
grey-beards
who are subscribed and, maybe lurk, most of the time, but
when important
things need to be said, they contribute. And even though the
name of this list is "Firewall Wizards," I have read more good,
valuable, useful
"general security talk" on this list than any of the others. I
/*completely*/ understand about being a "faithful believer, but
exhausted fighter," and have, myself begun to be really
selective about
the battles I choose to fight, but, even if I decide to give
up the good
fight, I'll still stay subscribed to this list, just to be
able to read the jewels when they appear . . .

Cheers,

/g
