[QUOTE="Burrito, post: 829476, member: 72439"] Yes, both the size and the quality of WD will cause more malware developers to focus on WD. There was evidence of that this year at Black Hat. Yeah, isn't it great. WD is going to make all the AVs give us consumers more value. Nah, there was likely no $$$ involved. There is too much of a chance that would leak. There are multiple employees at the test labs. Venders are given access to testing methods and samples. There is too much of a chance a tester would get caught. The tester wouldn't do it -- that could be the end of their business. And Microsoft does have superior telemetry.... collection, and ability to address threats. And many don't know it, but Windows Defender has a machine learning (ML) module also -- just like the 'big boys.' The basic product (in my opinion) is not as robust as Kaspersky, Norton, Bitdefender.. at stopping threats. But it gets closer all the time. Exactly. There are so many entrants to the enterprise market... they all can't survive. The word is that multiple of them are looking to cash out. It publicly leaked that Carbon Black would like to be purchased. And there is another big name that has made it known that they are available for offers. Fire sale? Webroot (consumer and enterprise) sold for $618 Million (peanuts) Cylance sold to Blackberry for $1.4 Billion (A healthy price for an enterprise newcomer) Symantec (enterprise only) sold to Broadcom for $10.7 Billion Can you name an enterprise security company that has sold for more?
