All secured/regulated systems as required by most certifications/standards/best practices.
You're new in the industry, aren't you? :) The point you're missing is that the vast majority of computers aren't covered by said certifications and standards. And most of the certifications are merely a money grab by the auditors - the last numbers I found, something like 98% of breaches of systems that were covered by PCI were of systems that at the time of the breach were PCI-compliant. In other words, being PCI compliant didn't actually slow the attackers down one bit. You social engineer your way into the 5th office building you pass, pick a random PC on the 4th floor - I'll bet you that PC is probably *not* running sufficient monitoring to detect an intruder rebooting it and messing with the system.
