Chris Dalby untangles networks

Life is Good

We've been working really hard over the last 12 months and it feels good to be at the end of the year. Security has become a big issue for us and I find myself doing more on security of our networks than anything else.

For anyone who hasn't woken up and realised it, if you have an always-on internet connection, you will be coming under attack. Until we checked the firewall logs and saw how often our networks are scanned and probed, I wouldn't have believed it. We are under attack literally every minute of every day. If you are going to have one new toy for Christmas, make it a firewall. Its money well spent for peace of mind.
