In an academic environment systems facing the Internet are a way
of life.  They can be seucred as can the whole environment.  But
that doesn't change the fact that systems not needing to face the
Internet shouldn't.  And things like SCADA systems controlling
things like gas pipelines, water systems or electrical grids fall
into that category.

Paranoia doesn't secure systems or networks.  Only diligence can
do that.
