So I've been asked a question at work and now I'm going to relay that question to the minds of the [H]orde. There are several public (and private) mac (OSX in most cases) labs around campus. NONE of these labs have any security measures in place other than driveshield (macshield). What we are worried about is if one of these machines is infected (i know...not likely) it may act as a server or separate node to infect other computers on the network, or it may infect a usb key or something. And finally to the question I was asked "Are there any security measures to protect a Mac lab?". Sadly the only suggestion I had was Norton, but as far as I know it's woefully inadequate and does nothing but slow down the computer (not much different from a windows Norton imho).
