No one should be complacent when it comes to security. Impenetrability really is a myth propagated more by marketers than the platform developers.

It is always to the business’ best interest to deploy various security solutions to avoid exposing the company’s and its employees’ data.

Although, I am also an advocate for proper education of employees regarding the risks, it is always good to arm the company with technologies with the assumption that employees, though informed, won’t care, as that is often the case. I have yet to see a very effective employee education program about technology security risks.

If the reliance and adoption of these devices continues to grow unchecked without the full support of major antivirus and firewall creators, it will persist as a viable security threat to any network.
