With any data connection, but particularly the "always-on" varieties, it's
possible your network can be seen or detected from outside. Other internet
users, and/or infected Servers can scan for connections to unprotected
networks, and subsequently use them to send Spam, or as "bounce points" to
mask other, often illegal, activities.
It is therefore essential that the
connection between the Internet and your Network, whether Broadband, ISDN or
Dialup, is suitably secured from the outside, to prevent services provided
by yourselves, from being abused, and also to protect the security and
integrity of data stored on your network.
