I, for one, am happy to welcome our new more-reasonable-less-paranoid

are behind an enterprise firewall anyway

that don't apply for a notebook, especially not if the enduser is connected to a public WLAN and if you think that you are proctected because a firewall in front of the WAN security is not your bussiness

* vulnerable port open

"less-paranoid" == no business in security

before Edward Snowden made informations public a lot of people which told that things are happening also where called "paranoid"
