Standards in desktop firewall policies
By Phil Kostenbader and Bob Donnelly

The idea of a common desktop firewall policy in any size organization is
a very good thing. It makes responses to external or internal situations
such as virus outbreaks or network-oriented propagation of viruses more
predictable. In addition to providing a level of protection against port
scanning, attacks or software vulnerabilities, it can provide the
organizations local security team a baseline or starting point in
dealing with such events.
