Usually we need to keep AV around for compliance purposes as the new products are not yet recognized as acceptable 
replacements (or at least they weren’t last I heard which was a few months ago now).

Subject: [SECURITY] Bit9 and getting rid of anti-virus tool

Hello everyone!
Has anyone implemented Bit9/Carbon Black EDR tool and been able to do away with anti-virus tool, such as McAfee or 
Symantec? Or, do we need both and why?

All comments welcome! Thank you in advance!
