Re: Security of National Infrastructure

Why is it that every company out there allows connections through
their
firewalls to their web and mail infrastructure from countries that
they
don't even do business in. Shouldn't it be our default to only
allow US
based IP addresses and then allow others as needed? The only case I
can
think of would be traveling folks that need to VPN or something, which
could be permitted in the Firewall, but WHY WIDE OPEN ACCESS? We still
seem to be in the wild west, but no-one has the [email protected] to be braven and
block the unnecessary access.
I assume you want this:

Most "unnecessary access" I see seems to be coming from US-based IP
addresses anyway. A Great Firewall Of USA would certainly reduce the
amount of spam I get :)
