Excerpt:

=================================================================
Given what is happening in the Ukraine with the MBR (and the World potentially), SEDs being activated would be a great idea for organizations if you don't want your hard drives to be wiped! Also using better malware protection in the Wave Endpoint Monitor would be another great idea!
=================================================================
Only hardware-based security can beat malware!
