XProtect, Macs built-in anti-malware feature, checks all apps downloaded to your device from the Internet, while another built-in feature, Gatekeeper, automatically prevents an app from opening without the user’s permission. Macs have their own built-in security tools called Xprotect and Gatekeeper. Truthfully speaking, the perception that Macs are safer to use than PCs isn’t something that was manufactured out of thin air. They believe their devices are 100 percent resistant to malware… and they are treading quite a dangerous path. A portion of Mac users follow a similar train of thought, while others prefer to live in their own bubble. Long time Window users know that going without antivirus software is as crazy as leaving your home open 24/7. When it comes to IT security and data protection, Window users and Mac users are as different as night and day.
