Re: ATM PVC as security barrier

I am proposing that a VPN
can protect a corporate network from the insecure Internet traffic confined
within the VPN. Is this a valid assumption? Note: both ends of the VPN
terminate at a firewall that we control. Comments?

You have the better solution than the engineers. I have seen similar designs
implemented with VPN and utilizing Checkpoint Firewalls and Secure IDs. I do
believe these have better functionality and security than the alternative
suggested to you.
