Anyway, back to the news, the university dumped their external firewalls because it makes their PCs more vulnerable to diseases. But they've placed a more competent firewall in the network itself to provide centralized security. As we all know, the university is considered as the world's premier research brainery, so it is very important for the administrators there to secure their patents and
research findings. I think I just discovered a good trick to keep those nasty bugs and worms away from our PCs. Just like what the university did, if you employ a lot of computers, put a firewall directly at the heart of the network so you'll get centralized protection.
