. If you have a firewall blocking 1433 requests from untrusted networks then the SQL Server will never even see the request.
This is good as long as nobody can bring in thumb drives or other media from outside. I thought that way until the work got inside the firewall. Then all hell broke out.
That's why I said it depends on what other controls are in place. Thumb drives can be disallowed from even being recognized by Windows via a Group Policy change.
