[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 917860, member: 32260"] One could say that the paid Endpoint Security is not required in a business environment when anyone can use SWH settings for free. But this is not true for several reasons, because the business environment requires additional features to cover a much larger attack area. For example: [LIST=1] [*]The very important feature of a good Endpoint Security is collecting/filtering/analyzing the incidents from many machines connected to the local network. [*]The business environment depends on remote management via the local network. This is usually related also to using scripts and network applications. [*]Endpoint Security should protect users against attacks from the local network, especially when performed with high privileges. [/LIST] These features (and some more) are not included in SWH settings, because they are intended for a home environment. SWH settings tend to isolate machines in a home network (blocked remote features, SMB protocols) and restrict scripting. So, SWH settings are not appropriate for a business environment. [/QUOTE]
