[Moderator: "..do not have adequate firewalls..." and "most attacks come from in-house staff.." seem to be counter productive to a firewall vendor. :)] Forwarded From: Nicholas Charles Brawn <ncb05at_private> 23Jun98 AUSTRALIA: BEWARE - ENEMY WITHIN. Original Article By John Hilvert. The Australia-New Zealand manager with Check Point Software, Peter Sandilands, has said that about half the businesses on the Internet do not have adequate firewalls in place to protect from unauthorised use of their systems. He has also said that most attacks on software come from in-house staff. Sandilands has said that Check Point is doing well. He has said that companies need a system of triggers to enable an investigation if an intrusion occurs. A survey conducted by IDC in 1997 has indicated that Check Point has captured 70 per cent of the firewall market in the Asia-Pacific region in the twelve months to June 1998. -o- Subscribe: mail majordomoat_private with "subscribe isn".
