Apple Fixes Bugs in macOS Sequoia That Broke Some Cybersecurity Tools 5
Apple has rolled out an update to macOS 15 Sequoia that addresses compatibility issues with third-party security software that emerged in the initial release. The update, macOS 15.0.1, aims to resolve problems affecting products from CrowdStrike and Microsoft. The compatibility problems had disrupted the functionality of several cybersecurity tools when macOS 15 first launched in September.
Breaking those might be a 'feature'... (Score:2)
My experience with security stuff on the Mac is they increased system instability for no particular increase in security.
But still no vendor, including Apple, should release bugs. (And yeah, I know many of you think that's 'unrealistic'. That's OK, i'll just try to avoid your software....)
so much effort for security (Score:3)
So much effort goes into 'security' and yet we just await the next zero day. Year after year, nothing much changes but the bug of the day.
Is it just me or do we need some kind of overhaul in the way we build software?

Part of the issue, IMHO, is that there is little to no liability for writing insecure code. I've had conversations with several 'lead' developers, and even someone who is now a board member at a Fortune 10 company, that cybersecurity is pretty much a waste of time and effort and should not be worked on. I remember one time, on a project where the general public could literally be killed (it had happened to a competitor just months prior), I noticed that none of the project goals mentioned a word about secur

That is just completely false. The world of security has evolved dramatically over the years. We've gone from wormable exploits that would infect a Windows machine before it even has a chance to contact Windows Update, to a world where actual zero day exploits are hard enough that even some of the most sophisticated attacks don't even bother attacking the system, instead targeting the user (phishing, quishing, or even AI conference calls pretending to be a CEO).

No, because building a superior human race did
