I don't disagree that segregation is still important, but it really depends on specific environment technical details and threat models. Firewalling AD networks, for instance, really won't help if the administrative security model is flawed (network admins using privileged account to maintain endpoints, privileged local administrative/maintenance credentials being reused on critical infrastructure, etc). The communication protocols for administration and general use are iirc pretty much require bidirectional traffic to work. If you don't trust the host you develop on then everything produced on that host must be audited by a trusted host. Maybe that works in environments where cost is not an issue, but I would be somewhat skeptical of any environment which attempts that without the appropriate resources. It also doesn't help in situations where source code disclosure is an issue (eg a dev posting too much to pastebin/stackoverflow/inadvertently searching google for paste buffer full of data etc). |
