I dare say most of us here aren't typical IT guys.  Any sysadmin worth
their salary is already aware of that, and is waaaay ahead of his
internal customers.  

All sysadmins should secure their boxes down to the bare minimum of
available services, and trim that down further by allowing only the IPs
to connect that *need* to connect.

Of course that's just my opinion, I could be wrong...
