Hi. Would appreciate some views and comments here...
We're being pressured by our "Risk and Compliance" group to install antivirus on our Unix (Solaris and AIX) and Linux (Red Hat / Centos) servers. Historically we've not installed AV software on these platforms because there haven't been viruses to worry about. I'm not sure that has changed, but we need a better argument than "There are no Unix/Linux viruses" apparently. So, I'd be interested in hearing if: a) you run AV software on your Unix/Linux servers b) if not, have you had to argue it away? c) if so, is this due to any external compliance issue? We're not running servers under any external compliance (such as PCI), so it's only internal policy we're dealing with. If you think I'm wrong and I should be running AV software, I'd appreciate that feedback as well, although I'd be really interested in understanding why. Thanks for any comments!
