Deploying and managing endpoint protection solutions that defend users against viruses and other attacks are often resource intensive and costly to deploy and maintain. In order to provide an adequate level of protection, organizations often find they are resource constrained as they must either find, hire and train security experts, or divert critical IT resources from projects designed to drive growth and productivity. Both options leave organizations to manage the complexity of ever evolving regulations, technologies and threats which is a time consuming and expensive proposition.
