Here is an old joke from my days as a consultant. A customer asked, “How can I be sure my computer is protected from viruses?” My admittedly sarcastic response was that they should disconnect it from the network. Unplugging devices from the network has never been a practical solution, then or now. The world relies on connectivity for business and pleasure — we deploy, buy, stream, and share using networks that comprise the Internet.
