If they are paranoid about security, perhaps an added layer of protection
would be to encrypt the TCP/IP layer so that even if the network was
breached, the data available to the hacker is useless.

You could take a look at FreeS/Wan (IPSEC for Linux) or CIPE to provide
encrypted tunnelling through their network if they want secure.
