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.
