To also make you aware of the problems with new network technology like wireless networks, and remote access devices that can circumvent network perimeter security devices like firewalls and IDS. Whilst also showing you the pit falls of security, and the need to check all systems for vulnerabilities and to carry out regular patching and monitoring of all systems within your network.
