    Right now in my current position, I am pretty much the only IT guy. I
    have very limited resources so I try to exploit any advantage that I
    can. Whenever possible I throw an nmap scan or two at our firewall
    from my home or maybe a nessus scan. Since I am the one handling the
    network, I feel that a scan from home adds more a bit more security in
    the sense that I get to see the corporate LAN from the outside. Also,
    I know what traffic to ignore in the logs the next day.

    Just my .02
