But they ARE a part of a 'defense in depth' stance. I don't want the
elastic/evaporating perimeter to be the only thing in front of a chewy
center. All machines should be hardened and defended - regardless.
I got working IPChains, pf/ipf and Tiny , on every workstation. I have a big
FW at the edges, which in turn screens different service nets - each walled
by protocol from my server and user segments.
I bet you don' do it much different.
I am built the same at home...
