Opinion

“We recommend SCS as it provides a desktop security layer without a burdening support problem. One such example worth noting is its ability to apply different polices based on its location e.g.: In the office apply a relaxed policy (trust the network printer): Out of office apply strong policy (paranoid) and do NOT trust any connection. SCS offers the ability to mitigate a series of desktop threats other than just virus and malicious code and we have noted its origins as a traditional ‘remote user’ only usage, has now evolved to full internal network users as well.”
