Can anyone provide guidance to how one might calculate how much staff
is necessary to support a Checkpoint firewall pair?
I know that this ratio may be impacted by several factors (i.e, the
size of the user base or the number of supported applications), but a
ballpark figure and the basis for the ratio is appreciated.
Alternatively, if one can direct me to a tool for calculating this
metric, I would be grateful.
Thanks
In a vacuum - for just 2 firewalls - you would need one person to run
them.
In the real world - the number varies wildly. Don't think of
firewalls as just a pair of boxes in a rack somewhere. With firewalls
comes a much larger responsibility to create security policy, create
processes surrounding changes to the firewalls, response to 'events',
how to handle breaches, etc.
Your question is loaded at best ;)
