Our computers at work are secure now? What a relief!
Computer security (also known as “endpoint” security by those in the know) is a constantly evolving field that looks very much like a game of whack a mole from the outside.

What I am driving at is that in addition to products, security involves training of your staff. Without a proper security mindset, no matter what your do to secure your environment, you will fail.

Once again, the weakest link will be the one that breaks.
