[QUOTE="Sidewinder, post: 412653, member: 9512"] I think that my client hosts it's own servers, well I would hope so, or that at least the UK Government would have adequate security. I have no intention of using Windows firewalls. The NHS does not share your view of data protection, data security and data sharing from what I have been told during my meetings with them it seems calltronics. So all of the recent publicised hacks into large organisations have been better security than no physical access to the network that the servers are connected to. Along with suitable software & hardware security which is certified as so called "banking" level security, which is really pretty poor, because recently banks have been hacked. The advantage we have is that we can limit the allowable IP ranges that can connect, so, that limits the number of potential origins of hacks. Spoofed IP's I hear you say, OK, fine, but, they have to know that first. Then they have to have a good user name & password, etc. etc. etc. We have VERY limited number of allowed users, so we can lock the allowable access down tight. [/QUOTE]
