Secure Closed Networks
Just because a network (or network segment) is isolated
from the Internet does not mean that it is secure
 2006 E-Crime Watch SurveyTM conducted by the United States
Secret Service (USSS), the SEI CERT® Program, and CSO
Magazine discovered that almost one third of electronic crimes
were perpetrated by insiders
 Malware can be inadvertently introduced from within your
isolated network via peripheral devices
PatchLink Developers Kit allows you to secure machines
on isolated networks, where downloading an ongoing
PatchLink Update subscription via the web is not feasible
