Peer to Peer

How secure is peer to peer? I've been reading up about peer cache and delivery optimization and there doesn't seem to be a lot written about the scurity of it all.

    To add: how secure is peer-to-peer for Windows Updates; for SMBs using Intune and/or WSUS on a domain, how would peer-to-peer have any additional value in terms of performance and what caveats would we need to watch out for in terms of security?

      Great question! I'm going to have to ask around and respond later today. I will need to find my content experts :)

        Please do, as I am curious. Given that we are rolling out Windows 10 clients for new staff members and replacing defunct ageing systems, this would be a good piece of info to know.
