the growth of a firewall config over time affects security

 

"At some point in time it’ll be too large to mange if it isn’t already. Presumably the probability of human error increases with complexity (configuration size), so one might suppose that if firewall configuration errors cause a decrease security, then the data center becomes less secure over time."

 

"Entropy is the enemy of security."
