[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 98186, post: 1032395"] That's not what I said. Unmanaged home users are the security group that need extensive LOLBin blocking and other system hardening by default. In fact, that group should get a heavily restricted version of Windows. Unmanaged home users are substantially incapable of making sound security choices and then managing their security. The broad, sweeping generalization is true = most users just run with default Windows Defender on Windows, do not use AV on MacOS, do not use AV on their phone, and they don't know what Linux is. A home user who lives on their phone and playing XBox 24/7, saying "I know I need to install AV" is not security literate. Tech knowledge is NOT security knowledge or savvy. Just look at how users cannot handle security alerts. When presented with an alert, their reaction or decision is to select "Allow" when they are busy, and a toss-of-the-coin when they actually read and try to understand what is said in the alert. To put things into perspective, most users want to be entertained. They're very superficially aware of the need for security. They assume or falsely expect that they are protected on any device with any software installed or run. [/QUOTE]
