I don't think so, you have to "guess" how much of a threat you have.
We are concerned enough that I have hacked together a scipt set for use
while off base.  I create an account on a machine not normally accessable
from the outside world, which is not my "usual" username.  An expect script
changes my password each time I login.  I forward my mail to the new
account & put files I may need into it also.  I have someone on-site allow
access the day before I need it & disable it the day I am done.  This is
not perfect, but any little bit helps.  If anyone wants details I will
give you an outline of what I do.
