Sophos' "Security and Data Protection" suite includes full disk encryption, control of devices, applications, network access control and malware protection.

"IT teams are quick to tell us that their existing security products are too complex to manage, and when they encounter issues, they then must deal with poor support from their current security vendors," said Steve Munford, chief executive officer at Sophos. "Combine these frustrations with the fact that many companies are rethinking their security strategy to better address data loss concerns, and therein exists a tremendous market opportunity for Sophos."

Similarly, AVG offers a full suite of endpoint protection the "AVG Internet Security" product includes identity theft protection, web protection, chat protection, anti-virus, anti-spyware, anti-spam, anti-rootkit, and a two-way firewall. In addition, the free LinkScanner product pre-loads every requested web page and tests it for malicious content prior to delivering it to the browser.

With products such as these, there is no excuse for being unprotected on the web.
