Christian,
I went through a security audit at work via a third party company. I was told in the report that using the message server plugin was a hazard to our network. HS enters our network via a VPN connection and the user must be logged in to our Active Directory database before the VPN client can connect. Is what he told us true and does the Message Server cause a security problem? One of the greatest advantages of this plugin is the ability to receive notices on my laptop when a server goes offline.
Thanks for your input,
Jerry Coleman

1. Firewall Policy - As an example....Jerry has a security program running at his house and he has ports open in the BCPS firewall to allow that traffic to enter the network and alert him of "events" at his house. The port used is not a common port and thus has no application layer deep inspection at the firewall. A firewalk program could be used to gain full access to the network by a skilled individual. I think he redefined the policy onsite to restrict this particular opening at little while I was there; however, with some IP spoofing those countermeasures could possibly be evaded as well. The modification of the firewall policy has no checks and balances either.
