While the issue of security is addressed with hardware and minimal software controls, the emphasis is on intrusion recovery. This is a system that is probed often and is unattractive to intruders based on the nature of what is happening on the network. The router is completely password protected. Every user has a login and a password for access to the Internet. A complete system back-up is performed on a daily basis.
Further security is up to the user who connects to the system.
