Top 10 Dangerous Things to Have On Your Network



#1 Anything with a DHCP service:

Enterprises often find difficulties in services that are associated with VLANs. Whatever be the components attached- a wireless router, or a virtualized machine or even a DHCP service can cause problems in a network. Everyone knows problems associated with DHCP as it’s a broadcast service and it leases address to networks that come in the first place. So which one will you go for- an outdated device or a brand new attached to the network?

#2 An open share with all application installers:

An application installer is of course a good idea. But it also is a form of high risk. Think of an enterprise that has bought around 10 licenses of a software and nearly 100 people within that firm needs that license. Definitely an impossible and probably a very risky task. What enterprises should do is that they must separate installers according to the employee task and give everyone read access so that these installers won’t be over–utilized by users.
