BlackIce protects workstations (for the most part), even from each
other. Thus co-workers that might be behind the corporate firewall
can't get in either.
Since installing it, I'm amazed at how often it sounds that it's
detected an attack or probe. If anyone wants to know how 'open' they
are, you can try the following web site by the author of Spinrite.
The site will test probe your PC and tell you how open it thinks you
are.

BTW: With ConsealPC or BlackIce the site can't even find your PC for
testing.
