Enterprises are making a policy decision to take advantage of the Internet security model from the border of their network outward, but to take responsibility for IP security inside their network. That is a reasonable policy decision. But even if reasonable people could disagree about that policy decision: the reality is that people operating large corporate networks require the ability to control SSL/TLS sessions; for instance, there are whole industry verticals where accessing a private email server not controlled by your employer is grounds for automatic termination, because regulations require them to track and archive email messages. Finally, and I'm repeating myself: I am describing the reality of most Fortune-500 enterprise networks. In most corporate networks, you cannot simply talk from your desktop out to the Internet; you are required to use a proxy. You're also almost certainly on an 10/8 IP address. |
