TMG Secure - ASA Not So Much

I always get a kick when I hear Cisco guys tell me that the TMG and ISA firewalls can’t be secure because they run on Windows. Never mind that there hasn’t ever been a documented attack against a ISA or TMG firewall. They just love to eat what the sales guys feed them – reminds me of Apple fanbois :)

Just a quick reminder that you’ll want to reconsider your firewall decisions comes from the latest in Cisco security flaws – a DoS attack against the ASA is yours for the taking, because you know how assiduous network guys are about updating their firmware ;)
