disastrous data breach last week sought to reassure clients Tuesday about the
gravity of the intrusion.

IDG Contributor Network: Is your firewall smarter than a 5th-grader?
A recent talk with my 10-year-old nephew confirmed my suspicion — the firewall
has become somewhat ubiquitous of late, the essential element of network
perimeter security. Almost all know what a firewall is, even if some
inexplicably still don't have one. The challenge for those that do is to make
sure it functions as needed, and not like the average 5th-grader installed it.
