Interview with CEO of rsync.net: “no firewalls and no routers”
I wonder if they have any sales to large enterprises or similar institutions.<p>In my experience, the larger organizations will have a "security" questionnaire required of their vendors, and the person administering it is a droid, incapable of evaluating whether the questions, originally written in the mid-00s and only updated for buzzword compliance since, are applicable to modern security practice today, or to the particular product/service/vendor in question. And no firewalls or routers would be massive, disqualifying red flags on such a questionnaire.<p>Never mind that a KISS setup tends to bring security because of its minimized attack surface. In the minds that write and administer those questionnaires, security only comes from sufficient amounts of the right kinds of complexity.<p>I'm sure it can be done. IIRC, Cloudflare doesn't use any firewalls, and they do some big business. It just isn't easy to get past the droids programmed to ensure that all pegs shall be properly square, IME.
