Deep underground somewhere in south-east England, security experts have built a data hosting center almost entirely based on open source operating systems. The cryptologists at the Bunker, an ex-Nato anti-nuclear hideout owned by a data hosting group also known as the Bunker, are so confident of good security, that they say they have no need for firewalls – the tools commonly used for keeping hackers away. . "We secure each system for its services rather than relying on firewalls to do that," says Adam Laurie, technical director at the Bunker. "We will use [firewalls] now and then but they are open source – if customers request them and if we're involved with the design process."
