Re: [FW-1] Personal Firewall and SecuRemote

[Elisabeth Wonders <EWonders@FW1-NOSPAMLES.COM>]

I was told by my Check Point reseller that with SecureClient NG, there is
more protection than the earlier version of SC.  That indeed you can set up
rules based on ports, services, etc.

This quote is from the link below:

 The Next Generation release enables the administrator to define
 granular security policies specific groups of users.

yes and no. With an additional Policy Server license,
SecuRemote/SecureClient can be configured to allow outbound connections
only. Modern personal firewalls can allow/deny connections on a port or
even
application basis. So if you want to protect the user against the internet,
SecuRemote may be sufficient. If you want to (or have to) protect him
against himself, you might need a more complex personal firewall.
