RE: pcAnywhere...Outbound Only.

The first concern would be a disgruntled employee bring in files from
home.  Another concern would be an employee who does not run virus
software, transferring files to your server.  Just a couple things to
consider.

Hi,

We have a rule on our firewall that allows all employees to use
pcAnywhere 
to connect to a host OUTSIDE  of our network.  It is in one
direction...that 
is from inside our network to an outside host and not vise versa.  Our 
firewall administrator, came to me and asks me if I had any security
issues 
with this.  He does not want the hassle of maintaining a list of
employees 
that can do this.

I do not see any glaring problems doing this....what do you think?
