Robert Morris Sr. has some good advice,
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Morris_(cryptographer)>: It is
easy to run a secure computer system. You merely have to disconnect
all dial-up connections and permit only direct-wired terminals, put
the machine and its terminals in a shielded room, and post a guard at
the door.

You may remember his son, Robert Tappan Morris. He's the author of the
Morris worm from the late 1980s.
