I'm curious for those who use antivirus/antimalware products if you can let us know what kind of response there was recently to the Zoom issue.

Which product did you have experience with?
Did any action take place?
What kind of action took place?
How quick did it take for that action to take place from the time this went public?

There's the age old argument as to how effective these pieces of software are so I'm curious how this played out with them. Currently in our environment we only rely on Apple's technology but your results might be something that pushes us to adopt something.

    @CorpIT_eB I realize that but my understanding is that the while the issue was made public July 8th, Apple did not respond with their solution until July 10th. Apple has also released updates since then as well.

    I have a CIO who uses a Mac who will be very interested in whether any companies responded quicker than this and want to know what it is that they did as their solution.

      They were all too busy to respond trying to find out if they were compromised.

      Hope, they publicly release something but 9/10 when the response is a bit more then 24hrs those details are never disclosed at least not by Apple.
