Re: Allowing scanning from home

I would not think it is a good idea to run from ah ome machine. there is no
telling what might be installed on their machine or how secure their network
is. I suggest for outside scans to contact a profesional company or purchase a
dedicated or co-located server designed for this purpose.



Quoting ericaldrc51 () netscape net:


What's the group's consensus on allowing security staff to scan the company's
external interfaces from their home, to get a true external assessment.  I
personally don't agree with this for audit and other reasons.  Just looking
for some other professional viewpoints.  Thx.
