As Macs find there way into more business offices, not only are more security flaws being discovered on the Mac OS and programs, but more viruses are being designed to specifically target those vulnerabilities.
Macs are famous for a lot of things – some true, some false. For instance, many people believe that Macs are virus- and malware-proof – but unfortunately that’s not true. Just because many of the malware and viruses out there are targeted toward the Windows OS, Macs are not impervious to attack. The operative word is “targeted”. Security firms and experts are learning that since people tend to be more complacent security-wise when using a Mac, they make for good targets for unscrupulous online scammers, fraudsters, and thieves.
While the scale of the threat can be debated the fact is that any system on your business network needs adequate protection – including MACs, and there are now attacks specifically designed to attack the Mac OS platforms.

If you aren’t convinced, then this video might just turn you into a believer. Here, a Mac anti-virus program catches a would-be Trojan. And that’s just one of the many hundreds of thousands of Mac viruses and malware out there.
