  • Overview


    IT managers are well aware of the threats to their networks, and have spent heavily on solutions to protect the corporate environment. Despite high expenditure on security software and hardware products, in today’s diversified environment many organisations are not truly in control of their users. In the drive for more flexible working, networks are opened to third parties, such as contractors, whose security applications are not subject to control by the organization. As far as direct employees are
