Antivirus as a thing is mostly dead, or has morphed into more aggressive endpoint protection. In that sense ClamAV is mostly to scan for known malware in things like mail servers. Make sure people aren’t sending malicious stuff, albeit mostly low hanging fruit.

Nextcloud, wikis, or other similar aggregation sites are also a usecase, but again low hanging fruit.

Set up a cron job and have it run periodically, like once an hour / day / week, whatever. Make sure you set up something that alerts you if/when it hits on something.

Tor was created by the Naval Research Labs, and was released to the public because it is secure.

Plenty of contracting orgs do driving for the military. You don’t need a soldier, you need a trucker, so why use soldiers?

Goes beyond the OSI model, too. Someone has to pay for that VPN, and there has to be an entry point to getting BTC, using a 2nd hand laptop where they can prove you bought it off of someone off of Craigslist, etc.

This dude wasn’t a hacker by any stretch

Everyone knows 4 of 5 restaurants will fail, and soon.

AI hype train is still going. The difference is people need to eat.
