| Description | Why is network security so hard, whereas stand-alone computers remain relatively secure? The problem of network security is hard because of the complex and open nature of the networks themselves. There are a number of reasons for this. First and foremost, a network is designed to accept requests from outside. It is easier for an isolated computer to protect itself from outsiders because it can demand authentication — a successful log-in — first. By contrast, a networked computer expects to receive unauthenticated requests, if for no other reason than to receive electronic mail. This lack of authentication introduces some additional risk, simply because the receiving machine needs to talk to potentially hostile parties.
