We use a dual-FW system, then still have IP/IPv6 ACL’s / Route-maps on the routers to be both redundant and secure. A little bit of both edge and Core-level filtering never hurts..

The network security appliance should provide security from comprehensive array of attacks, reliability, functionality and productivity. It must be faster and protect the system from various web threats like spyware, viruses, malware, hackers and many more.

thanks for coming back to me.

in distribution layer, I have got two layer 3 switches and they connect directly to WAN routers.. ideally I want security on the edge to monitor all incoming traffic. I agree single appliance would be a single point failure. What other ways are around it, can router manage the security of network while the appliance is down or is not recommended?

I am confused because i have security modules on routers and firewall appliance on the edge, Why would you have integral module?

easy to use, simple interface, integration, support number of user/connections – future upgrades/adaptability, price vs quality…
