Hi All,
I'm curious if there is a software firewall version of the Cisco PIX? We currently are using the PIXs throughout the company for our VPN and I was curious if they have a software version of it available to protect computers and provide a VPN connection. I know they have a VPN client that can be installed to work with the VPN, but from what I understand, that doesn't provide firewall protection.

Thanks!
 
the VPN client does have a firewall it in, but to my knowledge, the only way to push firewall rules out to it, is if you have a Cisco Concentrator 3000 series..

And it is nowhere near as granular and smart as a pix, it is a basic firewall derived from Zonealarm.
