Star IBM: 'AIX Most Secure, Mac OS X Least Secure'
Linked by Thom Holwerda on Thu 12th Feb 2009 15:18 UTC
Privacy, Security, Encryption It's time for another security report. You know, those reports that tally vulnerabilities, and then plot or graph them in such a way that their benefactors or clients come out most favourably. Ok, that might be a bit cynical, but fact remains that there is usually something wrong with such reports. The one that's making its rounds across the internet today is certainly one of them. According to IBM, AIX is the most secure operating system, and Mac OS X the least secure. Not only is the report rather slim on details when it comes to operating system vulnerabilities, it seems like most websites reporting on this story have misunderstood what it was about.

wow, just 1?

I really liked OpenVMS when I used it for awhile. I don't get why so many people just can't stand it.

better marketing for other OS in general and a kind of boycott by DEC Managers in Germany (certainly with agreement by Robert Palmer) who declined pushing SAP in porting their applic onto OpenVMS. (my view)
Ken Olsen would be upside down in his grave if he had knowledge of them all.
Ultrix disappeared from the market Tru64 as well and OpenVMS periods his being in hp as long as there are customers who will pay.
CIOs don’t really take care about the workload and downtimes mostly required after applying patches to fix the monthly security vuls in *x.
