Mac security not so much about the Mac
 

SAN FRANCISCO--Politicians like to joke that Social Security reform is considered the "third rail" of politics. In Apple's world, that rail belongs to security.

It's been a while since we examined the "state of Mac security," and with this week's RSA Conference (http://www.news.com/RSA-2008-Blanket...3-6236457.html) in San Francisco, and last month's CanSecWest (http://cansecwest.com/) conference fresh in everyone's mind, it seemed like a decent time.

The topic is always a heated one, and it tends to bring out the usual Mac vs. PC (http://www.news.com/8301-13579_3-9832697-37.html) bashing. But according to people I talked to this week here at RSA, the nature of security threats has moved well beyond the platform.
