Having been part of a malware debacle that essentially circumvented two different av/malware tools it's hard for me to find a pragmatic balance to the year's worth of absolute hell the tooling caused to the systems I'm responsible for. (Log bombing, HDD I/O stackups, chained immune responses and deadlocks to literally nothing) +25% or more resource consumption _just_ to keep the AVs happy. Couple that with needlessly aggressive IT policy (see Mordac, the preventer of IT services on steroids) There's got to be a better way, but maybe this is the new normal.
