Are Firewalls Dead?

Roger Grimes put forth that very idea a while back in his InfoWorld column. Roger admittedly was making a provocative statement, but he has some strong feelings on the subject. Roger feels that the threats today have outgrown simple firewalls. Most attacks are web based using port 80 and easily bypass firewalls.The age of buffer overflows are past and so should be the age of firewalls. Next Gen Firewalls you ask? Don't bother. Roger says while they have been great marketing them, no one is actually using them. Obviously there are some people who disagree. Joining Roger and I on the panel today are Jody Brazil, President of Firemon and Andrew Braunberg, a well known security analyst. Listen in as Roger, Jody, Andrew and I discuss the future of firewalls and what role they will play. Enjoy!
