Podcast - The Extraordinary Failure of Anti-Virus Technology

“Anti-virus technology is doomed.” This bold prediction comes from Robin Bloor, partner with Hurwitz & Associates and founder of Bloor Research. The genesis?

In this podcast, Bloor explains why anti-virus and other blacklisting technologies are flawed solutions. Bloor highlights whitelisting as the most successful approach to prevent malware outbreaks and control applications within the enterprise.
