And from a practical perspective it is so difficult to perform a security forensic analysis without support for a central logging server. Linux support would obviate the need to have another malware/security competitor to Webroot in-house. Instant competition!!!!! We are now compatible with Linux! Please reach out to support with any questions https://www.webroot.com/us/en/business/support/contact Answered: Tyler Moffitt on September 12, 2022 I just checked with Webroot support and there is still not central logging support as there is no support for Linux either. For Corporations that need SOCS support, Webroot makes it difficult. And for any corporations that use Linux in some form you will need to find an additional Virus/Malware program.
