There's been a lot out there for the diligent security practitioner to read about the Mac the past couple weeks. Adam Shostack has some great ranting over at Emergent Chaos, we've ranted about it here, and now even SANS is ranting about it. Usually I'm pretty critical of SANS, but in this case, my hat is off to them for finally helping to dispel the myth that Macs are somehow inherently more secure than the rest of the world - a completely ridiculous notion.
In semi-related news, as those of you who follow this blog know, one of new startup companies we've been keeping our eye on over here is the Trustifier product from Googgun - I heard about a week or so ago from Rob at Googgun that the plan is for them to have a Mac version. Sounds like a good move - from both a product and a marketing perspective (given the amount of interest in OS X security nowadays.)
