As long as Windows machines sit on employee desktops, there will be a compelling need for things like Bit9/Carbon Black. I helped with an enterprise deployment a few years ago and -- except the rule tweaking that required quite a lot of trial and error* -- it works as advertised.
* There wasn't really any "error", per se. It was really just a trial in deciding how much the CIO/CISO was willing to deal with knowing about, versus remaining ignorant by choice since that was far less work. Given where they ended up, I'm not sure whether the millions spent on the software was a smart business decision. <banghead>
