[QUOTE="CERN, post: 1456816, member: 21974"] "According to Gartner, more than 50% of [B][I]enterprises [/I][/B]will begin to adopt remote browsers in order to reduce the impact of cyber attacks over the next three years [...]" Enterprises. Keyword here; i.e. buisnesses. That's what they care about ultimately. This is the cyberbully half-truth,"Cybersecurity best practice dictates that you should not expose your local PC or laptop to the public internet, it's the easiest way to have it become infected." - This is a half-truth more or less.
