QUARANTINE!

摘要

"It says QUARANTINE on the inside of the hatch to keep you down here—to keep you scared." I'm a fan of the TV show Lost, so I think of "the hatch" when I hear the word "quarantine." And actually, the hatch isn't such a far-fetched analogy for network quarantine, which isolates computers that might be a danger to your network until they're patched or until you get antivirus software, enable a firewall, or comply with whatever measures your company's security policies dictate. Unlike the hatch, however, network quarantine is supposed to prevent you from being scared.
