Is the antivirus protection built into MS Windows sufficient if the environment is regularly updated?

ANSWER

Unfortunately, this question cannot be answered definitively. Much depends on the size of the environment, the resources used, and existing vulnerabilities within the system. The decision on antivirus software should be preceded by a thorough risk analysis. It should also be borne in mind that antivirus protection alone will generally not be sufficient to secure an organisation. It is only one element of a broader security posture.
