I remember talking with Mikel, Panda Software founder, about firewalls about 20 years ago.
I was about to leave college and I was coding a socks4/5 proxy that could be the base of an entrerprise firewall. Panda was interested to get into that space because they had very good enterprise installed base for antivirus.
We didn't agree how to work together ; but after this I always thought there was really nice people working in Panda software.
1-2 years later, they released their firewall as an add-on to their antivirus package. It totally made sense by then.
I believe Watchguard is buying a lot of talent form Panda (plus wider offering).
