OK, let me start out by saying I am a newbee, I have never setup a firewall at this level and I have no training in security. I did some research and decided based on what I read to buy an ASG 220. I read through the setup instructions and got the device up and running with a few snags but minimal effort. Then I started looking into the Intrusion Protection System and found that for the most part, the system is setup to "Allow and Log" the thousands of rules in the rule set. This seems odd to me, as it is just this "Default Permit" mentality that is what most people cite as one of the biggest flaws in Microsoft products. Wouldn't it make sense to have the IPS locked down out of the box and have to open it up as opposed to the system open and have to lock it down? I am sure this is due to my ignorance but, am I missing something?
