- Not so simple and not all about security
-
I agree that having outgoing traffic blocked by default is a more secure setup than allowing all outgoing traffic.
Security and ease of use are all about preventing downtime and lost productivity. There is a balance though, tip it too far in either direction and there are time wasting issues and support calls.
People who are competent enough to know about and want an outbound blocking firewall will turn it on and configure it. Those people who are clueless are better off with outbound blocking turned off. - Posted by: ibabadur1 Posted on: 04/27/06 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
They don't want MS protection? Or they've got something reliable instead?
