The problem is that you cannot "firewall" the networking protocols.  Okena 
and other products like it make a good attempt at stopping attacks, but 
they are outrageously expensive for the most part.

I'm arguing that more thinking and planning needs to go in to the 
networking part of the equation (not TCP/IP but file sharing/authentication 
protocols.)
