"Security teams need to rethink the way they spend their time, focusing on efforts that could potentially pay higher security dividends, Tippett suggested. "For example, only 8 percent of companies have enabled their routers to do 'default deny' on inbound traffic," he said. "Even fewer do it on outbound traffic. That's an example of a simple effort that could pay high dividends if more companies took the time to do it."
This is on every Pix ever made. What is the point of any firewall if it does not block all then let some through. I agree that education is probably the best security practice! There does not exsist a product that can secure stupid. However you MUST have AV/long passwords/IDs/IPS and a host of other things to create layers and let you know what is going on in your network. If you just throw your hands up you are not doing your job!
I choose the clec all the time. Verizon always tries to get into the way but they were bounded by law to allow the small guys to use there copper. Now will they all just go away? Man that is going to suck! I hate verizon.
