Antivirus malware
Who makes the best one for a home computer?
Forum Discussion
I use spybot-search and destroy, malwarebytes, MS security essentials, OSSEC-HIDS client on all internal machines and a custom rolled firewall at the border of my personal network. Beyond that is a hardware VPN provided by my employer which connects directly to my cable modem.
Systems with sensitive information cannot be connected to or connect to the outside except through tightly controlled tunneling.
There are other systems in place, various active response services, packet inspection and the like.
If some system internally were to become compromised the most likely avenue would be drive by installer/malware coming into a client machine via browser. it would have several more hurdles to get into any systems with anything useful, and have to evade a lot of security software that most malware authors don't have to worry about so they don't even try to evade.
That's roughly what I do, however this is not for everyone ;-)
EDIT: forgot to mention, monthly audits as well. Employer takes security seriously...
