Could be, yeah!
The Linux Experiment
2024-08-02 10:13:05 +0000 UTCYeah, I guess it's a case of "windows is huge on the desktop, we'll secure that", "Linux is huge on servers, we'll secure that" and this leaves macOS as the ignored platform.
The Linux Experiment
2024-08-02 10:12:48 +0000 UTCWorking with our clients, who many are in financial, tech, and even defense contractors, I can say without a doubt that often the MacOS devices fail security tests at a much higher rate. All the focus is on Windows and Linux servers as mentioned. Even many of the regulations and security controls are based on locking down Windows and the domain.
