Your Mac’s Not That Secure

We saw this article as part of a blog post and thought we should share it out…

Every time I think about macOS cybersecurity, I think of a good friend of mine who happily watches pirated streams on some of the sketchiest websites I’ve ever seen. Why? He’s using a Mac, what could happen? Well, in reality, a lot.

It’s not that Macs were impervious to cyber threats back when Justin Long and his luscious locks were starring in those old Apple commercials. “I’m a Mac. I’m a PC.” There just weren’t that many threats that could target macOS devices at the time. That’s changed. State-sponsored malware, adware, advanced infostealers, and even spyware like LightSpy are what’s lurking in the shadows.

But with 57% of Mac users believing there isn’t malware that can hurt them, it’s critical that the people and businesses that rely on Macs learn the truth about these myths. Macs need to be protected like any other device, especially as Mac adoption by businesses has risen by 20% YoY. Using an EDR built for macOS, alongside solid cybersecurity awareness practices as backup, is the best way to protect your Mac devices and your business from threats.
