Hi,

I work for a school district and we are seeing an uptick in virus/malware events - especially on the mac workstations. We currently run antivirus on some windows servers and our windows workstations, but not on our mac workstations, iPads, chromebooks, or linux servers. In addition we are implementing BYOD so we have a lot of uncontrolled devices on our network.

Since we are 100% virtual, we are considering antivirus that runs at the ESX layer instead of putting agents on each server along with agents on the windows and mac workstations.

I would love to know what your antivirus/malware strategy is and why?

Defense in depth.
*) anti-virus at the desktop
*) anti-virus and anti-botnet at the edge with something like a PaloAlto firewall with the A/V license and the Wildfire license, optimally. Not cheap, but it would pay for itself with a single ransomware incident. *) looking at Observable Networks for intra-site traffic anomaly analysis with netflow/sflow. Also Reservoir Labs has some forensic tools for places that have a security team and want to understand incidents after the fact through something like a 'flight recorder'.
