 Networking Pipeline Firewall Blowout
Most of us date the birth of the network firewall industry to Digital Equipment's design in the early '90s, which was soon followed by Trusted Information Systems' Gauntlet firewall and Check Point's FireWall-1.
By the late '90s a slew of network firewalls had hit the market, ranging from the Raptor (now owned by Symantec) to the PIX (Cisco) to the Sidewinder (Secure Computing) to products from NetScreen (now Juniper), SonicWall and WatchGuard.
Most infosec pros agree that the proxy approach presents a more difficult obstacle for attackers because of the devices' Layer 7 protocol-aware mechanisms, but their performance shortcomings, difficulties in supporting new protocols and inability to natively perform stateful failovers hurt them in the long run.
