Sorry my bad. You got the point though. You'd be surprised how many messes there are out there. I tripped over a whole network of unpatched windows XP sp1 machines the other day.
I'm not sure I got the point. Were you trying to say that before NAT, businesses contracted out to vaguely-competent third-parties who charged an arm and a leg for changes to firewall configuration?
No I'm saying that still they do that today and always have done. UPnP is always off. And that's £300 and a service case open to turn it on. Then a 48 hour turnaround.
MSP=Managed Service Provider. Basically rip off merchants who charge you for everything because you are trying to run a business with the tech rather than run an operations team.
