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. In my first ever dataJAR blog post, I thought I would address the elephant in the room by exploring – yes, that is right – antivirus for Mac (no pressure here James).
