And you NEVER have any problems behind a "very secure firewall"? Let me
clue you, Sheldon - the most common hacks still come from internal
sources - disgruntled employees, etc. - behind your "secure firewall".
You just don't hear about them because the companies don't broadcast why
they fired someone (unless it's a very big hack). And ANY security
professional will tell you to NEVER depend on just one layer of security
- always build multiple layers into the system.
Just because it's behind "a very secure firewall" is NOT a reason to
ignore standard security practices!
