Endpoint management software vendor Promisec has conducted a survey of about 100,000 endpoints from 25 organizations, finding that all of them had between 10 and 30 percent security- or policy-compliance issues.

“The survey… found the key issues are missing third-party agents, unauthorized peer-to-peer applications, missing Microsoft updates and out-of-date or misconfigured antivirus,” writes eWeek’s Brian Prince.

“In the case of antivirus, Promisec executive vice president of operations Marc Brungardt told eWeek that there are a variety of reasons it could be out of compliance, [from] employees tinkering with the programs to infections blocking the ability to update,” Prince writes.
