Here's one example that's just come to me and that I configured but |
| 9 |
never put in production. I acquired a free and supposedly good Cisco |
| 10 |
router. I configured it and disabled the web server router |
| 11 |
advertisements and all the other stuff it spits out by default that I |
| 12 |
had no need for. Later an exploit in those very communications, |
| 13 |
gratifying but no risk avoidance. Cisco have also had exploits in ipv6 |
| 14 |
and in other cheaper devices, default web root passwords etc.. |

Unless you need the performance I really wouldn't go near Cisco any |
| 17 |
more. My cousin uses sonicwall, atleast one model uses assembly to speed |
| 18 |
it up, which I'd look at in that case. Cisco's Senderbase use some dumb |
| 19 |
mail reputation rules too, probably because I think it's a middle man |
| 20 |
without the whole picture. |
