Solutions
Secure authentication methods (e.g.: digital signatures) must be used
Maintaining a log of all agents incoming and outgoing should be maintained
For each agent, the creators' contact and a manual/draft on it is worth maintaining
Pre-entry processing for viruses/worms and uninvited guests should be done
Intelligent monitoring processes must be spawned regularly
