Especially if they grow by acquisition.  I have three distinct
management and security domains under my notional control, and we are
but a very small part of Fujitsu.  In the world-wide corporate context,
although there's a thrust to have a no-controls WAN, relying mutually on
perimeter security, back in the real world most sites are proxying on to
the Fujitsu WAN and treating it as another Internet.  Would I care to
explain to my MD why we've been hacked because another bit of Fujitsu 12
time zones away got sloppy with a Cisco ACL?  I think not.
