What kind of anti-virus is required on a Mac? (Not debating, just curious.) I work for a FAANG on fairly sensitive projects and I’ve never heard of anyone in my org having anti-virus. FileVault, remote wipe, etc., but not anti-virus. Are their credible anti-virus systems form Mac and Linux?
- pjmlp 7y agoSymantec or Macfee come to mind, regardless what we might think about them. It all about fulfilling IT and law checklists.
- sdoering 7y agoDon't ask me. It is in the enrollment standard. I strongly believe all this software only enlarges the potential attack surface. Not sure if this "zoo" of software is more of a security theater and a legal protection to be able to tell everybody "we did all we could possibly do" in case of an attack/hack/what not. But even if I strongly suspect my device was more secure before, I know, that lot's of less tech-savvy people will have at least some standard (encrypted SDD, and such) enforced. So I am not yet decided if in the end the net benefit is positive.
