Will enterprise open source adoption trigger malware migration?
Recent reports have detailed Google's actions to phase out the internal use of Microsoft's operating system for security reasons following targeted attacks that the company has experienced. The targeted espionage attacks took place in January of this year and were carried out with the aim of gaining access to the Gmail accounts of Chinese human right activists.
Now as Google employees consider the option to select either Apple Macs running OS X or PCs running the open source Linux operating system, the question is whether other corporations will follow this practice.
If enterprise roll out of open source and Apple's OS X operating system markedly increases, then will the relatively small amount of malware targeting these platforms increase by a proportionate amount?
