    You can set rules based on specific scenarios to run on machines. For example, you can use this to enable or disable machine learning to block or allow things that users regularly use. You can also log specific attacks on machines (for research later).

    I think McAfee is great to have whether it's for work or for personal use. While it has some drawbacks, I like the peace of mind of feeling safe when I'm browsing the web/email, especially when my computer has sensitive/confidential information, knowing that McAfee will immediately detect any threats. The UI is extremely easy to navigate, which makes it easy for users regardless of how tech-savvy they are.

    I haven’t seen that there is much support for it. It seems like a lot of trial and error is/will be involved.

    We use Cylance in conjunction with two other products. We have ArcticWolf for monitoring the machines at an even finer detail than Cylance (they can pick up things that can be missed). We also use Cisco Umbrella to block potentially malicious DNS queries. The combination of these three products helps us feel much more secure than if we had just one.

    I haven't used Norton for a while, but when I did use it I felt that it slowed down my computer and had constant pop-ups, which were both equally frustrating and annoying. It was also very difficult to remove from my computer. Malwarebytes is a great, straightforward program I've used for virus scanning. It's pretty bare bones but I think if you just want something to scan for viruses it gets the job done quickly and reliably. In my opinion McAfee offers similar benefits as Norton but its more intuitive and doesn't impact system performance.
