I used to do work as the IT administrator for a company in London and found as long as you keep a good set of firewall rules no one will compromise your security.

I can't believe that in this top ten no one mentioned renaming file extensions and compression as ways of getting the files you want in work.......come on, these old tricks still work today!!

As a security consultant, I can tell you that a good firewall is no longer enough. The bad guys are constantly finding creative ways to get in. Automated anti-virus, proxy servers, network admission control, IDS, and a SOC are often required to keep a high visibility target (banks, etc) from being compromised.
