I’ve noticed in this Article there is no mention of third party Security Software. I would recommend having third party Security Software for layered security.

Well, for iOS devices, there is not much a third party app can protect with Apples security model in that OS, except for a good VPN service for online protection..  But for the Mac, I full agree. I was surprised as welll that the idea of third party security software  was left out.

Good article but does feel incomplete without the mention of additional third party security. Perhaps because they didn’t want to favour any in particular

I guess it’s safer not to mention any third-party tools and then there’s no favouritism or bias at all.
