I have to correct that statement; there have been vulnerabilities in ISA
and they've been patched as they've been discovered. The Microsoft
download and security sites are good places to keep up to date on those

Just as an FYI, while there are several known hacks against Checkpoint's
Firewall-1, there are (as of yet) no known vulnerabilities in ISA. With
that said, it can be a bit of a pain to work with.
