RE: [FW1] Firewall-1 and use in Arab countries



Ok then, I believe you.
 
There appears to be some/strong opposition to using Checkpoint in the UAE given it's country of origin, and if I was a pitching solution for sale there I would include different options with the likes of Gauntlet etc
 
The impression I gained was that not many companies in the UAE would consider using Checkpoint - maybe they might even be upset if you offered it as a solution?

Darrin,
There are no regulations concerning export to the United Arab Emirates, except for such organizations explicitly banned by the U.S. Treasury department, or the Commerce Department.

 The 'evil 9' designation, includes:

1.Cuba
2.Iraq
3.Libya
4.Taliban controlled Afghanistan
5.North Korea
6.Iran
7.Syria
8.Serbia
9.Sudan

Cheers,

Allan,
There are currently only 9 countries in which firewall-1 cannot be sold.  I have had knowledge of many arab organizations purchasing firewall-1, with no concern for the writers race.  Lets face it, Israel and US go pretty much hand-in-hand as far as Anti-Semitic arabs are concerned.

Do not recommend to Libya, syria, lebanon, iraq, afganistan, iran, cuba.

Cheers,
CryptoTech

Hi,
Since Firewall-1 is made by an Israeli company, does anyone have experience recommending its use in Arab countries and for Arab clients?

The reason I ask is that I will be on a security architecture project for an Arab bank based in the middle east.

Should I refrain from recommending Firewall-1??

Thanks!
