Network edge devices: Though well-publicized, worms and viruses continue to be a common and, to some extent, under-appreciated network threat says Yankee Group senior analyst Jim Slaby. "We haven't seen a really big, really pervasive worm like Blaster or Slammer in some time, but they are waiting in the wings," he says. "It's not that people are complacent, but the problem with worms is that they're zero-day exploits. Signature defenses only work against things that you've seen before, or someone has seen before you, and they proliferate quickly."

My Opinion
Although every dictionary will tell you "complacent" = "沾沾自喜"
with the given context, "安于现状(自满的)" makes better sense than "沾沾自喜(得意的)"
complacent [简明英汉词典] 自满的, 得意的.

志得意满
The phrase is equivalent to "complacent." It sounds a bit literary, but is actually not. The four words are simple and easy to understand. The advantage is that it is an established usage, but not yet trite andf overused.
