There are even too much developers around the issue, imho, is that they are just developers. Not analysts. They tend to develop personal-use software with no regard to the Corporate environments... what about the "proprietary" protocols? Let's say file transfer or other mess? People used to criticize my choice to develop a program for remote backup of data files where I decided to use FTP/FTPs protocol for the data transfer instead of a propertary one or even rsync. Result? Their specs says "enable your firewall", open this and that port, allow the server to contact your LAN... umm... where the heck is the security principle?! lol enjoy IT (sorry buddy, I read this blog after a couple of days, hadn't time to read it earlier :p) I most definitively agree with this point.
