Enterprise PCs are unreliable, unpatched, and unloved compared to Macs
Summary
Telemetry data from Omnissa suggests that enterprise users are increasingly favoring Apple Macs and Google devices over Windows PCs. This trend is attributed to issues with Windows PCs being unreliable, unpatched, and less preferred by users.
IFF Assessment
FRIEND
This is good news for defenders as a shift towards more secure and consistently patched operating systems like macOS and ChromeOS can reduce the attack surface.
Defender Context
Defenders should monitor endpoint security trends, as a widespread adoption of macOS or ChromeOS may require adjustments to existing security tools and strategies. Organizations should ensure their patch management processes are effective regardless of the operating system, as unpatched systems remain a significant risk.
