I used to (late 2000s) work for a tiny, tiny company that was courting a customer in the mobile banking space. They wanted us to tick boxes. So we bought a box (some sort of Fortinet) that said it was a firewall and IDS. Plugged it in, used it as our new router. "Cost of doing business."

Could we have argued with them during the sales process? Only if we wanted to lose the sale. The Fortinet was cheap compared to the value of the contract.
