Hello, In the past several years, we have had a few incidents of servers of customers that are compromised and then flood our entire network and bring down almost everything. The sql slammer worm for example. Is there a solution to this? I know all computers should be kept up to date so this does not happen, but most times customers are not as attentive to patches as we sysadmins are. Assuming that there will always be machines with security issues, is there a way to prevent a compromised computer to bring down an entire network? Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
