Question #: 17
Topic #: 1
[All ChromeOS Administrator Questions]

You are asked why ChromeOS devices do not require additional antivirus software. How should you respond?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

ChromeOS is designed with multiple layers of security to protect against malware and viruses:

Read-only file system: Most of the operating system is stored in a read-only partition, making it difficult for malware to modify critical files.

Verified boot: Ensures the integrity of the operating system during bootup, preventing tampering by unauthorized software.

Sandboxing: Isolates different processes and websites, limiting the potential damage of any malware that manages to get through.

Automatic updates: Regularly delivers security patches and updates to address vulnerabilities.

While ChromeOS doesn't come with traditional antivirus software, its built-in security features provide robust protection against most threats.

Well, at least we know ChromeOS devices don't come with a free trial of McAfee that nags you for the next 10 years. That's a win in my book!

Hmm, I'm not sure about that. Doesn't ChromeOS also have some kind of sandboxing or isolation feature that prevents malware from affecting the whole system? I feel like that's part of the answer.

Option B sounds good to me. Pre-installed antivirus software that automatically updates? That's the kind of set-and-forget security I like.
