World Wide Web Issues

There is the same security issue inherent in accessing software on the World Wide Web that has always been an issue when acquiring software from any unknown or untrusted source. When a user clicks on a browser button for a network resource, what is invoked is unknown. A click, for example, could download an executable file with a potential for damage. Users should be aware of this issue. If this is a serious concern at your site, you may consider isolating and limiting those hosts having World Wide Web access.
