It has often been said that the only way to ensure 100% security online is to cut your Internet connection.
Since that approach is hardly practical, the more realistic practice has been to secure your Internet gateway with a variety of purpose-built applications that enforce a series of checks and controls. These controls both manage your employees’ access to the outside world, and more important manage the outside world’s access to your employees.
Despite their crucial role in today’s infrastructure, however, most security systems can be tricky to configure, require
constant attention and frequent updating. As a result, many companies install security software they think will keep doing the trick well into the future, never realising that those tools may leave them vulnerable to attackers that show remarkable tenacity exploiting software vulnerabilities.
