And because they tend not to have the fat security budgets of larger organizations, SMBs actually seem like easier targets or low hanging fruit for hackers.

But while those days tend to hit the headlines when they affect Fortune 500 companies and their clients, never forget that small to midsized businesses (SMBs) are just as vulnerable and subject to all the same exploits and attacks. That's when endpoint protection becomes exciting real quick. The conflict is a never-ending struggle and, worse, it's one that's happening mostly in the background. On the other side are the endpoint protection developers, also working ceaselessly while looking for ever more intelligent ways to identify, block, and destroy malicious code in all its forms.

Truth be told, it does seem more than a little reminiscent of the cold war. On the one side are malware producers, basically the bad guys, working hard at evolving their techniques to find and exploit even the smallest of vulnerabilities.

Maybe you're getting a little bored with endpoint protection.
