ANTIVIRUS ONE MAC REVIEW SOFTWARE
If a vendor has poor macOS documentation, you could be about to test a product that may not be the best software for the fleet. This will, of course, make it easier to support/install/manage, as well as reveal how rough a ride you might be in for. See if there is any documentation for macOS. While there is no harm in taking a look, there are a couple of considerations and pitfalls to be aware of.įirstly, hop onto the company’s website and look for the vendor’s documentation page. Just because a piece of software works well on the other platform, it does not mean it will be as effective or work at all on macOS. This is the first mistake many businesses/institutions make. Your manager asks: “Can you try and make it work on the Mac fleet?” In this scenario, InfoSec has been in touch on the ‘other’ platform they have been using ‘x software’. Evaluating equivalence, cross-compatibility and other myths And yes, you guessed it, the end of that sentence was “…InfoSec”. However, some organisations are not fully macOS based – there are a variety of platforms within any organisation. In some scenarios this is not a bad thing. You are already dreading the response of: “Yes we have been speaking to…” Heading back to the meeting, you realise this is not 2006 anymore attackers do target macOS and you do need to address the situation. The truth behind this perception, however, was at that time the Mac was not being targeted by virus makers as frequently as Windows was. I mean, if Apple says it is OK, then we will get back to polishing our Xserves. In 2006, Apple ran a set of media campaigns stating ‘hey, I am a Mac, I do not get viruses’, opening up the issue of antivirus on the Mac which, for most IT professionals, is a moot subject. While this is a common view shared by many, let us put some history behind this. The first thought that comes to mind every time is ‘but it is a Mac, it does not need any antivirus protection’. You know you have got a rough ride ahead. Picture this – you see an email/calendar invite in your inbox from your manager titled ‘We need to discuss antivirus on the Macs’. The following post will cover what to look out for when choosing the right software for you and your fleet. Some good, some bad and some downright ugly. What qualifies me to be able to talk on this subject? In a career that has spanned many years, I am grateful to have seen and set up the majority of antivirus software on macOS.
