Any Firewall Appliance to Front End Web and Mail Server? Will 03-19-2008

To protect internal users and networks I really like the approach used in
the Fortinet Fortigate firewall appliances, which integrate a lot of
anti-virus, intrusion protection, and other higher level abstractions
directly into the firewall. The Fortigate is just a standard firewall,
however, when it comes to protecting internal servers against hackers.
For example, you can design a set of firewall rules that might limit
incoming connections to the web server to port 80, but there is no protocol
level inspection of incoming HTTP requests, to detect or block specific
kinds of probes or attacks against the web server.

Does any vendor make a firewall appliance that is specifically focused on
protecting internal web servers and blocking against specific kinds of
attacks? Any references to such appliances are appreciated.

u might want to try checkpoint firewall with Web Intelligence which
provides specilised protection against web servers...

i don guarantee on their UTM appliance series...but software on a
hardended platform/Nokia appliance works well...
