In the top world of it security Cisco is a tier-2 player.
Real big financial institutions and large corporations rely on the quality
and features of checkpoint firewalls/netscreen firewalls,
entersys/sourcefire ids, etc.
Cisco's products are really not considered best of breed. So it comes down
to what the top minds in the field are chasing- I once tried arguing asa va
checkpoint...
I got taken to school fast on performance, features, provider-1 vs WHAT?
What does Cisco offer to centrally manage dozens of ASA's? ASDM? With what
25 Firefox tabs? LOL
Provider-1 and comparable technologies with checkpoint really make the ASA
the little soho solution...
Would you want to tie your career to a product line that the real serious
places won't touch?
I'm studying for the security ccie, but come on? Lets face it? Could I
design and deploy the checkpoint deployment for like BOEING's entire network
right now? I would get creamed...
LOL

R&S Is the foundation of everything. Don't get me wrong I am studying for
my security lab as we speak but I did R&S like alot of other people.
