Current Security Awareness
You may well dismiss such simplistic network design as historicnetwork naivety. However co-location of public servers in ISP facilities
rather than at corporate sights has become more prevalent, and the
sheer quantity of companies connecting to the Internet has greatly
increased.
For many of these companies this is an early venture into technology
and they do not have the internal resources available or the
understanding of the potential security implications. As such, many
initial forays into the online world have involved placing public servers
behind an ISP’s co-locate route with no security beyond that
implemented on the server itself (if any). Worse still, they may have a
connection back to the corporate LAN for data transfer or outbound
access, presenting them with the security design issues which many
thought were identified and eliminated years ago.
