> what about the military? and sensitive federal entities. > > the way these "hardened" "top secret" places seem to get cracked I can't for the life of me figure out what utilities, air traffic control, emergency services, and military systems are doing on a public network. Communications costs and ease of use should take a back seat to security in these types of applications. Computerworld recently ran an article saying someone at the Fed was recommending a separate VPN for such systems. MILITARY SYSTEMS, UTILITIES, EMERGENCY SERVICES, AND AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL DON'T BELONG ON A PUBLIC NETWORK. THEY BELONG ON A PRIVATE NETWORK AND I DON'T MEAN A VIRUTAL ONE!!!!
