The experts

Chirantan "CJ" Desai, Senior Vice President of the Endpoint & Mobility Group at Symantec says we are winning when you consider the headlines are driven by a tiny fraction of successful attacks while the vast majority of attempts are nipped in the bud.

Steven Sprague, CEO of Wave Systems says the situation is bad and getting worse as attacks get more frequent and more sophisticated.

==================================================================
This head to head (mentioned in the previous post) was more than just about antivirus vs. Wave Endpoint Monitor. It would be interesting to see what the vote breakdown would be for those for the Symantec executive and those for Steven Sprague if the vote was taken now. If organizational leaders listened more closely to what Mr. Sprague said in this article in 2012, the 1900 quarterly 'reported' breaches would most likely be a lot less!! Unfortunately, many companies could have thought with Wave's financials that buying from them might have been risky. Now Wave has the backing of ESW so that should be taken out of the buying Wave solutions equation.
