Re: Secure Network | Requirements

[Charlie Clark <charlie () funkymunkey com>]

Hi Aslam,
 
> From what I know, no one should be putting anything onto the system from outside
unless they are required by their job to work remotely/from home, in that case
the machine that they work remotely/from home on should be a laptop managed by
the corporate IT department provided by the company. In this case the IT
department should have taken steps to ensure that this laptop is as clean as
acceptable for the company.
Any data needed by any other employees should already be on the corporate
machines at the office.
Alternatively they could just email themselves whatever they need as long as its
not something that the mail provider blocks (ie. gmail) or not too big. This
when downloaded will be coming over http or https which should be allowed.

In this guide we examine the importance of Apache-SSL and who needs an SSL certificate.  We look at how SSL works, how 
it benefits your company and how your customers can tell if a site is secure. You will find out how to test, purchase, 
install and use a thawte Digital Certificate on your Apache web server. Throughout, best practices for set-up are
