Business use, vs. home requires a cautious approach with less risk, especially when dealing with PCI compliance. I think its just a matter of time before regulations like the PCI framework change with the times and require greater protection on all computing platforms. I recently stumbled upon AVG's updated Linux Anti-Virus solution. It sure is nice to see AV vendors are starting to wake up and offer solutions to all operating systems (not just Windows) It really is a breath of fresh air. You could say Linux has finally arrived!

You may be interested to know that more corporations are taking the linux virus threat seriously. Recently I designed and implemented a Linux based AV, HIPS and integrity monitoring solution on a significant number of Linux servers in support of PCI. Even though PCI doesn't explicitly require it in the case of Linux, the corporation in question was able to see how important it is to be proactive on these measures. The times are changing - lets just hope people continue to change with them! (this goes for the Mac users out there as well) Stumbled on this blog post while looking at DigitalBoundary.
