tangent thought experiment
So you bought that top of the line security-as-a-product thingy you can stick in your rack and it will make sure that your network is impenetrable? You know, like those CISCO bricks everyone major company is buying.
So have you took an extra precautions to make sure that the firmware on the device is pristine? Do you know anyone who ever touched these devices who actually did?
Do you see the problem?
