Conclusion

A server is expensive to purchase, set up and operate on a large scale; it remains a security solution for the perimeter: Internet security

A network device with an embedded firewall, a router, switch, or specialized encryption or QoS box, represents the future applying global security policies: Intranet & extranet security

Network devices will be teamed with security policy servers, with a centralized management, and will act as distributed firewalls over the network.

The Network is the Firewall
