This is an excerpt

Executive Summary

Firms' current approach to client security isn't working — and they know it. Why? Because their users are increasingly mobile and can easily bypass the network perimeter, which exposes the core to malicious code and information theft. Consequently, organizations must lock down their devices and data. However, companies can't operate efficiently with computing environments that resemble data prisons. Therefore, security managers need to shed the old processes that are based purely on protection from malicious code. By establishing risk profiles that focus on three aspects — users, data, and devices — firms can take the guessing out of securing their client systems.
