I think the main reasons behind securtiy breaches and endpoint (in)secuity is that system/secuity admins don't follow the book when it comes to endpoint security. Also the lack of "Compliancy Assessment" is another issue. If you implement the ABC's of computer security, 80% of your problems will disappear, for e.g,:
1) Patch Management (OS + Applications)
2) UTM
3) Network IPS / Host IPS
4) AntiSpam
5) Content Filtering
6) Device Control
7) AAA
8) Physical security
9) NAC
10) Compliancy assessment
11) Vulenrability assessment
12) Penetration testing
11) Staff training
12) User awareness

System Change Tracker Improves Security
Another way to protect your PC from malware is to monitor Windows and user applications for suspicious installations or changes. For example, WinDiagnostic Software’s PC agents automatically monitor both the Windows Registry and all file systems for changes that might accompany the installation of viruses, worms, and spyware. Using such tools, you can identify malware attacks even before ant-virus vendors identify the new virus.
