Jericho Forum member BP is one example of a group abandoning this security practice. BP is a member of the Jericho Forum, which I wrote about last year. Gartner: “Individual hosts should be able to defend themselves” If your laptop isn’t tough enough to survive on its own, well we can’t kill your laptop, so you’ll just provide more headaches for the help desk. BP has removed any applications proxies they might have employed? If yes, I guess it’s back to monitoring traffic the hard way.”]
