Security isn’t about just deploying some overbearing big brother of a hardware or software solution. And, it’s not about running scanning software that tells you you’re safe. In reality, in these types of setups-- you’re not.

Implementing a security strategy is akin to a high availability one in which you deploy multiple redundancies to ensure you can still operate. The same can and should be applied to security: identify the potential areas of attack, reduce this attack surface, and deploy multiple redundancies to secure your deployments.
