According to Gartner
“In a perfect world, IT organizations wouldn't care about locking down the PC; they would only care about the services they provide.
The reality is that standardization (through lockdown techniques) must be maintained to provide effective desktop services and keep security risk at an acceptable level.”
Result: 80%-90% of PC’s are unlocked today• IT cannot provide a desktop SLA (uptime, availability, recovery)
