Most networks these days are "fully switched", and in order to

But that's not as hard for attackers to obtain as you might think.

One user in your organization clicks the wrong thing with a web
browser that's either not fully patched, or hits a zero day exploit
the vendors don't even know about,

What about IE? It has 50+ exploits the vendor knows about and doesn't
provide any patches for them. Lots of them have been zero-day, some
years ago. :-)

If you see your entire bank of led's flashing simultaneously on your
switch and you're not sure why, worry.

RAmen!

BTW, this is also true for network printers. Lots of them do run Java VMs.
