You do cyber security type stuff, right? I think I remember Joy mentioning it on her blog. Are there any antivirus programs you recommend?
I don't specialize in Security but in my position I am suppose to know enough so that a Security Specialist is not able to bullshit me.
Honestly antiviruses are an outdated technology at this point. the provided security by Apple and Microsoft for MacOS and Windows is just as good, or the exact same, as anything you would buy over the counter. Instead you should shift your security approach to not having your computer be your point of failure, it is easy to reinstall programs, it is not easy to reproduce your files. This means embracing backups and saving your files in a drive that has version control. OneDrive is free with windows and has versioning, so if a file gets encrypted or destroyed you can roll it back to a previous state on another computer that can access your OneDrive. I believe Apple Cloud and Google Drive also have versioning. For Mac you can also enable Time Machine on an external harddrive and it will take snapshots of your drives for you, then if something happens you can roll your mac back to one of those snapshots. To test this just shut your primary computer off and try to get at all the files you want/need without turning it back on. If you cannot then you need to adjust how you save/backup those files.
This would be for personal use. For business use you can get something fancy like SentinelOne with a dedicated 24/7 SOC so you always have a human watching for any computer logs to alert suspicious activity, but those are mainly to fight against ransomware.
