You want us to lie?

Firewalls don't make things secure.   When properly configured by
someone who knows what they are doing and understands the issues, they
minimise certain security risks.  They help a lot but they're nowhere
near a panacea.

Anyone who says to you "We use [SSL|SSH|OpenBSD|Firewalls|<insert any
security technology you care to mention] so that means we're secure" is
either lying to you or doesn't understand security at all.
