End users lack responsibility

New research commissioned by Check Point Software Technologies (the company that owns ZoneAlarm) and carried out by YouGov, was published today and reveals that the challenge of controlling security threats triggered by users in the workplace is showing no signs of diminishing. Well no surprise there, and I didn’t really need the 1000 UK corporate employees questioned by YouGov to tell me that. To be honest, I suspect that the majority of you reading this will be just as aware as I that end user habits are a veritable minefield for the IT professional, and that to survive it is essential for connected companies to maintain a sensible and solid desktop policy.
