You do know that 75% of break-ins and "hacks" come from the inside do you?
What are you basing this on? In my 15 years of doing this I have not seen single instance originating from inside but loads originating external.
It's an average figure I picked up from books on Firewalls and other stuff on network security I read. It doesn't neccessary mean that /every/ network has 75% of the problems coming from the inside. Although, if you count in the problems arising from leaky Windows boxes inside an average network, I wouldn't be surprises if that figure was even bigger. Theo -- Theo v.
