Well, one month right as our scans went off - the phone system went down. Completely. <br /><br />This happens again, and we figure it's no accident, so we remove the phone system IP address from Nessus.<br /><br />Happens *again* the next month. <br /><br />Turns out, we forgot to remove the Phone Sys IP from the ping sweep - just pinging this ancient phone system would cause it to fall over like a three year old on a bike with no training wheels.h<br /><br />Just a little anecdote to reinforce your point.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
