Whenever some marketing dweebs use phrases like "most secure," "best security product," and such are just asking for a media fiasco. While it _might_ be technically possible to have the most secure or best product for a moment, but technology, vulnerabilities and classic end user configuration capabilities will make those statements obsolete before they have a chance to be printed.

I won't say what firewall/security product is better than others, but the marketing people in this field need to be slapped. They feed on media hype and make the tie-wearing decisions makers (ties cut off Iq flow to the brain, i *know* they do! :P ) buy ... well... buy crap.

Look at Cisco when the PIX firewall (read NAT box) came out - they were touting it as "hacker-proof," "can't be hacked!" - we all know how long that lasted.

Stateful inspection! Another great marketing gimmic. What does it *really* do for you? Nothing!

Anyway, I'm ranting. The point I was trying to make is whenever marketing says they something is "the most secure," the Karma Daemons of the universe seem to go out and slap them upside the public relations head.
