I not too worried since I'm looking at this through an Enterprise's
Network set of eyeglasses. :-)
If you have all the traffic that comes in and out of the network
pass through firewalls that include as well as pass through some sort of
IDS/IPS, as well as monitor the internal stuff through IDS/IPS you
should not run into this issues from what I'm reading. A good
firewall/IDS/IPS etc... will inspect the the actual data coming across
and see if what coming across is not normal for that type.... as well as
terminate the TCP Session , then reestablish it on the backed(internal)
so session that the communication has is never direct.
Now, having said that ...what about the routers that site in front
of the firewall providing that internet connection ....... well i guess
we better patch ...
I'm love the idea that Metro-E hands of with a plain RJ45 Ethernet
Connection more and more everyday 8-) .....
You have to love the security cat and mouse game though....
