Working on a large corporation, I liken our AV deployments and endpoint security as the invisible hand of productivity destruction. I’m not saying these products don’t block malware, I’m not disagreeing with you at all.

It should be stated that, with a high degree of confidence, deploying these measures against your internal employees personal systems and cloud deployments WILL invariably lead to the destruction of employee output and system performance, when things inevitably do go wrong and whole operating systems are hosed if not obliterated.

Back up your data folks +Your environments +Your passwords.

It can take weeks to get back up to full speed when your system dies to AV or anything else.
