Results of this survey suggest that we may need to broaden the definition of an endpoint to include users, as the two most common forms of attack reported are directed at users. Lack of adequate patching programs also results in endpoint compromises, despite reported centralized endpoint management. Results also point to the need for improved detection, response, automation of remediation processes.
