I have to disagree with you about a properly configured firewall letting
unwanted traffic into the internal network. First, A firewall is NOT the end
all be all. The approach is Layered Security.

Why would employees be allowed to run websites from their desktops? Why set
up a machine that you know is going to have some type of connection to an
external network and not lock it down?  Come on, putting a Windows machine
on the internet and not locking it up is like leaving your Ferrari running
with the doors open in a bad neighborhood. You deserve to have it stolen!

Security is only as good as the person administering it. First mistake >
Relying solely on a firewall!

Just wanted to express a little frustration.
