Am I the only one who thinks it's amazingly naive to trust the vendor's word
alone on whether the security features on a mission-critical item like a
firewall work correctly?
And am I also the only one who thinks if someone really thinks their network is
worth protecting that skimping by a few thousand dollars on what they pay for a
firewall to get one with assurance that is independently verified is penny
wise/pound foolish?
Am I also the only one who thinks organisations as short-sighted as that deserve
any network penetrations and destruction of critical data that are visited upon
them?

Who can't believe a company would worry about the $5,000-10,000 difference
between some cheapo firewall and one with independently-proven security
assurance. Sheesh. It's not like you're buying thousands of them.
