I work in a school in nottingham, UK we access the internet via the EMBC who inter-connect all schools and colleges to the internet. The EMBC manage our site blocking and spam filters for E-Mail. The proxy we use to access the net is heavily filtered and all un-used ports are closed, making an attack as far as I can see VERY difficult. My question is just how vulnerable is our school network? is there still potential there for an attack to take place?Even if the EMBC did a first rate job of securing the school networks from the internet, you have to think about attacks coming from other school networks behind the EMBC curtain. Also, you're more apt to get attacks from hosts on your own network. I'd say, yes, there is potential. ChristianAttachment: smime.p7s
