Re: "Endpoint" security solutions?

[Vijay K <globevk () yahoo com>]

For enterprise products you might want to check
EndForce and InfoExpress

End point security is quite an area comprising several
components

1. Anti-Virus
2. Trojans
3. root kits
4. Malware
5. Security Patching O/S
6. worms
7. spyware and tracking cookies
8. Browser hijacks
9. Patch updates 
10. Hacks and firewalls
11. Vulnerability and remediation

and others if i missed out a few...

Enterprise issues largely target device management,
secure patching, policy management, quarantine issues,
remediation methods and incident response techniques

Patch management companies such as altiris that you
mentioned do few tasks not everything. companies such
as bigfix, shavlik, symantec live state, novell
provide the infrastructure that an enterprise needs
for centrally managing IT and audit regulatory
compliance like sarbnes oxley. 

For vulnerability you may want to check qualys, eeye
and others

Hope that helps
cheers
