I think they're facing the largest challenge I've seen in recent history, in terms of an administration having to decide whether they continue to borrow and spend, or whether they face up to very difficult choices that have to be made to discipline the budget.

I think they'll qualify and I don't think the manager should be sacked despite all the media criticism.

Our behavioral approach is repeatedly validated by its detection and mitigation of day-zero threats like this one.

So IT has to decide between implementing untested patches, and letting the patch age, putting users' machines and thus the network's security in jeopardy.

Overall, the recent sales data appear to point to a renewed upturn in spending.

Overall, the size of the Unix installed base appears to be flattening because of slowing unit volume growth and recent migration efforts within the worldwide Unix installed base.
