I would agree for some of the old guard antivirus (looking at you McCrappy) but with the better ones you are also paying for a huge amount of analytics and repo

I would agree for some of the old guard antivirus (looking at you McCrappy) but with the better ones you are also paying for a huge amount of analytics and reporting. If you are dealing with a breach (even a small one) it can be really really nice (and reassuring especially for people at higher levels) to have nice easy to consume data on what the chain of attack was and where it started.

Some things that could be done to increase security: - penetration tests paired with employee security training incorporating those results - updating every piece of software and IOT device as frequently as possible - don't use products that execute macros when you open documents and train users to click the allow button - have a functioning SSO system in place and don't rely on something being on the "internal network" as a security measure. Don't have credentials shared between employees, use SSO instead. - universal usage of MFA and password managers
