LAN server firewall - Suggestions

I'd like to protect our production server Windows 2003 (LAN) from inLAN network attacks say from an infected workstations?

Should be light and shouldn't steal the server from the LAN: public services are running on it (Exchange Server, SQL server, etc).

 

The most reliable but old fashioned server firewall is 8signs Firewall though I do not know if its security is enough these days.

Outpost Firewall Pro 4.0 has enough security given and easy for administration.

If you want IDS/IPS you can try Eeye Blink endpoint security 2.5 but it does not work the same on all the systems.

Of course you can wait for the new Sunbelt-Kerio Server Firewall 2.0
It is exactly what you want but development by Kerio has been stop and I think it will take a long by Sunbelt.

You could try Filseclab firewall. It supports windows 2003 and its free.

 

It looks like a packet filter product

Doesn't look "optimized" (Hassle free) for servers.

Why not current version?

 

Now I'm having a go with Windows 2003 Security Configuration Wizard.....
