"argued that it would be unlikely that malware writers would tailor their code to exploit flaws in Sophos given that it controls only 10% of the enterprise market"
It seems to be a ridiculous argument to make. This would still not rule out targeted attacks.
- markbao 15y agoYeah, it's absolutely inane. Marketing front: "The best antivirus software." Damage control: "Don't worry, we're only 10%! Look at someone else, they have more market so it's more dangerous for them to have problems like these!"
- lylejohnson 15y agoIt's the same argument some people use when claiming Macs are more secure than Windows machines.

- scott_s 15y agoI've used it in the past as an argument for why there are less exploits for Macs, which is different. That is, security is an inherent property, whereas the presence of exploits is a function of that security and interest.
