We work differently now, more mobile, with more devices, less secure. * How many users lose USB memory sticks full of customer data. * How many different version of documents do staff have littered across desktops, laptops and email. * How many companies don't have an IT guy to sort out technical issues such as Windows Updates or Firewalls. * How many expensive laptops are stolen each year. * Any mission critical device is connected to at least two different connections (Ethernet, 3G & Wifi) You can't do Photoshop on an iPhone but they still sell.
