Engineers fix the shortcomings of the traditional firewall Do you find yourself putting a Band-Aid solution on a legacy firewall,
such as strapping on an intrusion-prevention system here or antivirus
software there? If the firewall is a security device, why should we have
to surround it with other security devices to help it do its job? A
group of security engineers addressed those shortcomings with a new kind
of firewall built from the ground up.

REVIEW: Panda Managed Office Protection Service Reduces Endpoint Security Costs The Panda MOP SAAS server and workstation anti-malware solution allows
systems to be managed and protected from a central location, regardless
of whether they are inside or outside the company network. This saves on
the upfront cost of buying and installing a central management server
and the ongoing cost of maintaining that server. Panda MOP also
leverages true cloud-based functionality for analysis of suspicious
files. In tests, malware detection worked well, at least when it came to
viruses and Trojans. - If you take security seriously, then you already know that every endpoint on (or off) your network needs to be running some kind of protection. Endpoint protection typically consists of at least anti-malware, (HIPS) host-based intrusion prevention and a software firewall--all managed and deployed by... 3Com to Blend Security Brains, Enterprise Brawn
