Frequency of PIX updates

[netoriusz]

Hi,

I'm about to switch to PIX firewall but I need to collect some information beforehand. The most important question I couldn't find any answer to in the docs is : "How often does Cisco release downloadable updates for PIX - how many times a month/week". I need it for management to convince them.

Thanks in advance.

Pat

The pix is not like a windows box or unix box where there are patches, updates, etc. When there is a release it is the entire code that you upgrade which is a simple process. Cisco release code around once a year. the newest release are 6.3.3 then 6.3.4 and now 7.
