Endpoint Security and Virtualisation

Besides form factor, virtual systems are not really that different than physical systems. They both use the same operating systems and applications.

Now, holiday shoppers can do all of that from a smartphone or tablet in a few seconds, but there are some security pitfalls to be aware of.
