Why is there still software out there that requires local admin rights to run it? How does your org handle this?
Do you provide the user admin rights?

Ok letโ€™s talk about it.
For me I am@quite new to using macOS on a frequent basis.

Question 1:
Do you as a security professional work under ?

I donโ€™t BUT it feels like the system is not good for this. Software Updates (auto updates) of non AppStore packages are clumsy

On windows it feels more natural (or more used to it?)

Ps: talking about my private live where I donโ€™t have an mdm

The dangers of admin rights need no introduction. So why are many companies still giving them out like free candy?
