Scenario 3: Apple treats third-party software that "bangs its head against Apple's protection" as malware, force-disabling it; mandates all third-party software

Scenario 3: Apple treats third-party software that "bangs its head against Apple's protection" as malware, force-disabling it; mandates all third-party software to be rewritten to just use control APIs for Apple's internal protection mechanism.

- GeekyBear 3y agoWe've certainly seen Windows Defender delete software like uTorrent without any input from the system Administrator.
- kaba0 3y agoFor what it's worth, most if not all "anti-virus" software that corps buy are borderline malware themselves and doesn't worth shit. The reason they even exist is that corps get to tick "security" on some bullshit bureaucracy check list. One reason I prefer Macs on company laptops is that corp doesn't get to modify it all that much.
- AaronM 3y agoPCI compliance mandates virus/ malware protection, so many orgs that handle card data are forced to run it.
- olyjohn 3y agoYeah the compliance is the same whether you use Windows, Mac or Linux. We run Microsoft Defender on our Macs. And have JAMF, and Beyond Trust. All the same shitty corp management software works on Macs now because they are popular in the workplace. If your corp isn't managing them the same as Windows, they either have no third party security audits, or your company is not compliant.
