Re: secure sharepoint 2010 design

[Paul Johnston <paul.johnston () pentest co uk>]

Hi,

The question I would ask is: do existing similar systems in your company
have a dedicated, firewalled network?

I think you'll find that somewhat more critical systems (e.g. your
domain controllers) currently sit on the same network as all your
workstations. While there is a security benefit in firewalling
sharepoint, it's a bit moot if more critical systems are not firewalled.
