Challenges and Compliance in Managing Software for Mac Admins
This chapter explores the difficulties Mac admins face in managing software such as CPAN, PIP, and Homebrew, especially in the context of security threats and compliance issues in large environments. It delves into the historical background of Homebrew, contrasting the demands of enterprise IT compliance with the more volunteer-driven nature of the project. The conversation also highlights the supply chain issues in package managers and the reliance on tools like MDM and endpoint scanning for software safety.
