Well you force your users to install some software to control that you
have a current anti virus and a firewall in place. This software will
only run for certain versions of Windows and will have quite a lot of
CVE entrys.
I will never get access to such a network. I don't use anti virus and I
don't have a firewall on my Laptop (by default I'm only running sshd and
if I need a (t)ftpd I start it manually).
