Another of the level headed, informative, and factual articles that i have come to expect from you, Tim. It is really nice to see someone put things in the proper perspective. Security really is a balance, and more people should learn that rather than immediately pointing fingers and blaming MS. I am particularly grateful for your identification of what administrators must go through to get our jobs done.
Yes, we were hit by Sapphire. It was a developer who insisted he have "full access" to the internet even though I said no first. Of course to our boss he could do no wrong, and well, you know how that turned out.
Our systems are far more vulnerable then people want to admit, and I am glad that you raise the important questions. Thanks Tim.
