Building a secure and easy to manage network is hard work

I don’t want to repeat the title of this post, but there is no other statement more true than saying that building a secure network is a lot of hard work. Most people have a hard time configuring a simple wireless network with home coverage so you can imagine how hard it is for corporations to design, build, and maintain their local area networks. Sure, they have money to purchase expensive networking equipment such as KVM switches and bullet-proof software but keeping all the hackers out of the main servers still requires hiring full-time IT people who know their way around a complex LAN. I just wish it was easier to setup a LAN at home that is mostly (if not entirely) secure and easy to manage. Are you listening Microsoft?
