Re: How should an Internet connection/firewall be designed?

["Kaas, David D" <David_D_Kaas () RL gov>]

There are no new requirements to tighten up security further than what
we have.

The only incidents are some malware/adware and a couple of trojans that
were caught because of our restrictions on outgoing traffic.  We have
virus scanning from two different vendors that covers all internal
clients, servers and incoming email.

Dave Kaas

   I may add another two questions:
   Have their been any incidents suggesting that the current
installation
   is insufficient?
   Are there any requirements (regulations, laws) that are not fulfilled
by
   the current solution?

   Cheers,
