Your first line of defense is not a proxy server or firewall, its your local telco and the security precautions ( or lack of ) they provide you on a daily basis. We will examine how the signal, regardless of the type ( DSL, ISDEN, T1, fiber) leaves the central office and arrives at your location. We will also look at some simple ways to provide a more secure link to the outside world.
I was employed for the largest telco company in the United States for the past 12 years. They decided to offer an early retirement last year and out the door I went. I’ve been spending my free time going to class pursuing a degree in information security and upgrading my amateur radio license. This is my 3rd Derby and look forward to seeing everyone again.
