Sandeep's thread about his insecurity staff lead me to this interesting article. I was blind, but now I see:

"If we succeed in what we are trying to do, this is bigger than anything we, as a research community, have done in computer science so far..."

We can only hope to slow the bleeding long enough.

Preventing use of the network is not providing network security. It is providing DoS. They should be able to allow two known machines to communicate directly without there being a significant vulnerability. True their design is very secure, but not functional. They are providing network security by removing the network. They should be able to open and manage a path for you and know who uses the path and monitor/block inappropriate patterns. That would be providing security.
