In Summary
With nothing to lose and everything to gain, this is an awesome opportunity to learn a new approach to enterprise security and combating malware. The tide of malware is relentless and frankly any means to try and control the malice must be welcomed.

Spoiler Alert! This course looks at a new and revolutionary concept called ‘Micro-Virtualization’. Micro-Virtualization addresses the two fundamental challenges of today’s computer systems, namely, that users will make mistakes, and that software should be regarded as having some (hidden) vulnerability.

If you are new to Micro-Virtualization then here are commonly perceived benefits of the new technology:

• The technology has an automatic ability to defeat undetectable malware, therefore allowing security teams to stay focused on business needs, not costly and time consuming forensics or remediation
• The technology provides real-time insights into every type of attack!
• The technology protects users even if they click on malicious links, so they can access any website and open any attachment or document, thereby, allowing them to safely embrace mobility and empower your users (hint: think BYOD!)
