@hanno I‘m torn on this one:
If you wanna build secure systems from first principles – definitely true.
In a real-world IT landscape with all its existing complexities and the everday, unsophisticated threats – I can see a case for solutions such as endpoint antivirus. Which leaves us with their subpar implementation quality.

@F30 @hanno I would believe Endpoint Antivirus was beneficial if I didn't see a news report every week about some company (who you know is using endpoint protection of some kind) falling to ransomware.

@F30 @hanno The only thing that endpoint security is consistently good at is making auditors happy.

@F30 @hanno It's still wrong. It's being used because admins don't understand how to use filesystem permissions and group policy to prevent users from running virus infested shit.

@F30 @hanno If governments had let us build secure computers right in the first place we wouldn't even have these problems tho
