Re: blah blah blah I am the Network Manager of a small wireless broadband company. The IPS/IDS devices I run sit between my private network & our uneducated customers.
When something, or someone's PC, is dogging one of my locations, I have the luxury to look at those devices first, to determine what virus, trojan, etc. is hammering my network & from what PC. If the threat is serious to my upstream network - the customer is MAC blocked instantly.
Our technicians provide a virus cleaning disk to the customer to clean their PC; we check them out thoroughly & then allow them back onto the network.
I see nothing wrong with protecting my bandwidth from uneducated customers who refuse, and sometimes just cant afford, an antivirus program. |
