Is this a true statement for a compensating control? I talked to solid core today and they stated this could also be a compensating control for antivirus and patching all together. I have 200 stores that need to be patched every month would this product or another product from their lineup take care for the need for the patching requirement all together? This question has been receiving some grey area responses I just want a clear answer.
Thanks
