Security in a network environment is even more
sensitive than security in a single-system environment. Security is
also harder to achieve because of operational complexities and the
decentralization of control that commonly exist in networks. The larger
the network, the more difficult the problem of establishing control
and communication between security administrators of the numerous
nodes.
There
are limitations to the degree of security any networking site can
expect to achieve due to limitations currently present in networking
technology. Being sensitive to potential problems can help you avoid
operations that could increase the security exposure in your network.
This chapter helps you recognize these problem areas and adjust your
operations accordingly.
