Antivirus for Linux
August 5th, 2016
You don’t need an anti-virus for Linux.
There are very – very few malware for linux, because a) those you used to use it in the past knew exactly what they were doing and what they were downloading and could esily recognise a virus program and b)those who can build a complex malware actually love this OS and you don’t mess with your own home An antivirus is not necessary currently, maybe this will change in the future. If you really insist, Avast! and Bitdefender have available products.
Edit: Ninja’d
That’s funny I couldn’t find the “this dosnt apply to Linux” in any computer security course. They are all clear that we should be using the layered approach to computer security without exception.
I also couldn’t find any confirmation that Linux is somehow a fix for the fact that our networks unless you use 802.1X are completely insecure and vulnerable to a range attacks like man in the middle which endpoint security (HIPS) can detect.
The major vendors all have Linux variants of their solutions, use one.
