Re: Free AV for Macs recommendation?

["King, Ronald A." <raking () NSU EDU>]

Talk to your apple engineer. MAC OS is supposed to have built-in AV along with the other security "enhancements."

We use the on prem Sophos Endpoint Protection as our main AV vendor. It includes MACs.

Free AV suggestions could also include AVG and Sophos Home. I personally use Sophos Home. Sophos has a MAC version.

Good afternoon!

Like many institutions, we are balking at the cost of the SEP renewals and starting to think about some alternatives 
including no longer including students in our SEP renewal.  As a result, we'll probably recommend Windows Defender for 
M$ systems, but we'd need a free option for students who use Macs.  Any recommendations for a free AV product for Mac 
out there?  Of course if anyone has any other feedback, we'd be open to hearing it as well.

Thank you in advance.

Best,
Cathy
