Corporate Laptops using home cable modem

by ellennovember . Updated 23 years ago

In your humble opionion, what is your professional opinion regarding the following:
Regarding end users with laptops who have cable modems at home, they want to install firewall protection software on their corporate laptops so that they can plug their corporate laptop into their home cable modem. We have provided them with a T1 at the office and a firewall. This is not a home office.
Two things: One, this will be additional work for us because it most likely will interfere with the Novell software, and a new unknown software that would or could interfere with existing software. Two, if they do not have the software, it most likely will be a hole.
What’s your thinking?
