Modern ransomware attacks has demonstrated beyond doubt the very harmful belief that private network behind nat is an acceptable alternative to keeping systems secured and patched. The only thing nat does in a security sense is to provide false sense of security until the day a single machine inside get compromised and then the whole hospital or company comes to a standstill while rushing to restore from backup, praying that they do keep backups. Its a mistake, and the only reason it felt like a good idea was because Microsoft with windows 98/2k/xp got hit en-mass with worms targeting vulnerable windows machines that never got updates.
