This is why one of my security mantras has become: if it is not secure enough to connect to the open Internet, it is not secure at all.
That doesn't necessarily mean you connect it to the open Internet, but it means you don't leave everything inside wide open because "oh there's a firewall." It also means buggy vulnerable IoT (Internet of Targets) stuff has to be dealt with.
Firewalls are almost security theater. They're just a basic precautionary thing. Same goes for virtual and zero trust networks. Systems must be secure, period.
