The biggest idiots are the ones who still connect systems that require security to an open WAN (i.e. Internet).
Then, to top it off, those same idiots spend millions or even billions of dollars trying to secure an inherently insecure system.
Here's my billion dollar advice:
1- Most secure system: No system at all.
2- Next most secure: Non-networked system
3- Most practical, secure option: Closed, dedicated network
4- The way they will probably go: Internet2 (dedicated government/research/educational WAN)
