One time I had a company owner call me on an emergency basis to his business because he said none of his employees' workstations could connect to the company server. When I got there, the server was not plugged into the outlet.
That is a great story, but also a great marketing opportunity. What was the reason (the information/opinions he got from other people and from AppGuard) he bought AppGuard? There are a lot of midsized to smaller of which many have little security awareness. So why choose AppGuard.[/QUOTE]
The story was before I was with AppGuard.
@Umbra has a similar story. It shows just how inept the average person can be with information technology. Sort of like the person who gets in their car and drives off with an empty gas tank.
The average Joe is basically lost when he gets beyond the power button.
The average Joe does not need a general OS like Windows. Windows ships with too much attack surface. They would be much better served by Chromebook - as long as they don't use Android apps. If they download Android apps from Google store forget it, it is just as bad as Windows. Gamers, well they're stuck with Windows.
Users don't have knowledge and users don't have discipline. That basically is the central problem of mankind. That is the IT problem that SRP solves IF AND ONLY IF the Admin and all the people above the Admin have those qualities, along with the determination to adapt their systems and operating procedures to the protection model and not the other way around when problems arise. It can work in practice as there are those doing it at this very moment without any major inconvenience nor increase in costs. It just takes willingness and effort.
