App Review Shadowra's Big Comparative - Episode 3 Entreprise Antivirus

[simmerskool]

Everybody knows ON/OFF for all security programs. It is the fundamental weakness of the "users want to use stuff" paradigm.

A user's ability to disable security and do stuff has to be taken away from them for security to be effective. This is very unpopular and in today's work, almost heresy, but people are always the problem. Always.

... it depends. I have DeepInstinct (enterprise) on one computer, and I have to log-in to cloud portal to turn it off, and even then finding that switch is a few levels into the portal, so if you installed it on family member's pc, it would be always ON unless you guided them to portal and gave them the password.

Most people would figure out how to turn it off if they really wanted to turn it off.

I observe a growing trend where more and more people under the age of 30 are either not using security software or they are disabling it. That generation/those generations consider strong, preventative security to be nothing but a hindrance to their mental health - because they cannot cope with being a "user that wants to use stuff" and being blocked from doing what they want, when they want it.

Remember. People are always the problem Always.
