I'm just a beginner in computer security in general and firewalls in particular (though I've spent quite a few years in IT in application development).
Netgear FVS318 is described as "True Firewall using Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) and Intrusion Detection features, Denial of Service (DoS) attack protection, and VPN pass-through for extra security."
Will it (on its own) provide an adequate protection for a small office with a shared Internet access? Does it need to be complimented by anything else on the hardware side?
If user workstations run up-to-date anti-virus and anti-spyware software, is any other client side monitoring required?
TIA, Eugene
