RE: Allowing scanning from home

Right now in my current position, I am pretty much the only IT guy. I 
have very limited resources so I try to exploit any advantage that I
can. Whenever possible I throw an nmap scan or two at our firewall
from my home or maybe a nessus scan. Since I am the one handling the
network, I feel that a scan from home adds more a bit more security in
the sense that I get to see the corporate LAN from the outside. Also,
I know what traffic to ignore in the logs the next day.

Just my .02
