Security in a network environment is even more sensitive thansecurity in a single-system environment. Security is also harderto achieve because of operational complexities and the decentralizationof control that commonly exist in networks. The larger the network,the more difficult the problem of establishing control and communicationbetween security administrators of the numerous nodes.
There are limitationsto the degree of security any networking site can expect to achievedue to limitations currently present in networking technology. Beingsensitive to potential problems can help you avoid operations thatcould increase the security exposure in your network. This chapterhelps you recognize these problem areas and adjust your operationsaccordingly.
