Safe Access and ESS complement each other well because one solution focuses on protecting the network while the other focuses on protecting the endpoint. The combined offering is a powerful solution for the entire endpoint security challenge. The benefits of a bundled solution are clear -- customers strengthen their security posture by combining network access control with advanced endpoint security so that both the network and the endpoints are fully locked down. |
We shouldn't minimize how dangerous WMF was. A malicious threat like this, which could release its payload without a user installing a file but merely by viewing a graphic, has the potential for widespread harm. WMF didn't propagate as quickly as some expected but the rapid progression from vulnerability to exploit only reaffirms the importance of staying on top of new threats. Response time is critical to effective network security. |
