One of the things I always tell my students is that it is much easier to build security into your IT infrastructure if you do it from the planning phase, and not as an afterthought.
I read a great quote recently: The best time to plant a tree is twenty years ago; the next best time is now.
It is absolutely true… the best time to start thinking about security is at the beginning of your project. If you didn’t, then start thinking about it now and start implementing it now. Your systems are open? secure them. Harden them. Do what you can do and get it done. Yes, it will be more difficult… but that does not mean you shouldn’t do it.
