Are these security programs updated / modified periodically, or are they sold as set pieces? Afterall, I imagine a determined hacker could eventually penetrate a "standardised" system. Yes, upgrades are available through CHKPF's software maintenance agreement. I believe these are annual agreements between CHKPF and clients. Also, a firewall is only as good as it's installed security policy - and even then - determined and professional hackers still get through. Good evening to all - let's hope for a better next week. BTW - Chicago Bulls - championship number six begins tonight - the only sure bet.
