fairly easily, the systems in question is not connected to any firewalls nor
does it have any outside connectivity, no modems, no serial cables no
nothing, it is simply connected to a mainline pruction line and runs software
that controls that system, single machine with no network at all, ssh is even
disabled.
The point being that sometimes uptime is more important than security in some
instances.
