Endpoint security issues simply can't be ignored, regardless of the size of the organization. Small enterprises in particular often need to “do more with less” when it comes to protecting their endpoints from Internet-based threats and vulnerabilities. Based on Aberdeen's July research on 'Vulnerability Management', organizations with up to 1,000 users should make an explicit decision about selecting the best endpoint security solution for their current problems, rather than unnecessarily taking on, by default, the potential complexities, higher costs, or negative performance impact of anti-malware solutions from better known providers such as McAfee and Symantec.

This paper will discuss how these vulnerabilities affect us all and what criteria businesses should use in order to pick out a proper endpoint security solution.
