firewall survey

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Although this isn't entirely on topic for this list, I thought this would be an excellent group to ask...

As our college prepares for reaccreditation, we're starting to evaluate some of our internal processes. I'm trying to compare what we do with others when it comes to technology, so I've designed a little survey dedicated to just one decision-making process you might have to go through. If you have time to answer these questions, it would be very much appreciated.

1. Does your institution/organization use a firewall at the enterprise level (institution-wide)?

2.  Do you use a commercial product or a self-built product?

3. Is your firewall considered to be a hardware appliance or a software solution?

4. Related to question 3, do you feel that one is better than the other? Why or why not?

5.  What factors are involved in your decision to choose a firewall?

6. Do you have a formal management process for evaluating a firewall? If so, would you be willing to share it?

7. Obviously, cost and personnel experience are major factors when choosing a firewall? Are there other factors that are just as important?

Thanks in advance for your help.

All opinions stated are my own, and probably don't even
vaguely resemble those of Navarro College.  :)
