Anyone here lease an office with shared internet and what percussion do you take to make sure your clients info you are sharing via the net is secure?

This is pretty common place these days. Buildings want to make money from every aspect. Someone I know owns a local ISP that providers Internet service and hosted VOIP buildings to about 90 in Manhattan. He deals a lot with incubator spaces. The internet is usually pretty good. Find out how much bandwidth they are providing to each space. You can usually get more or less for a certain price.
They usually give an ethernet handoff. Just get a small Cisco Firewall. An ASA 5505. Anything that you are publishing via the web should be does via SSL anyway. If you want someone to come in and grab info, just have them do it via VPN (which can be setup on the ASA).
