Second Google result for "apple security": http://www.apple.com/support/security/




Yes, and that's a good page. Now tell me how to navigate to it on the OS X site, and note how much security marketing fluff you'll see before you ever find it.

I don't even think Apple is a bad example of the form. I think it's entirely reasonable for them to market security on their main pages, and leave the researchers to find their support page on Google. There are tens of researchers, and millions of customers.

Apple has a lot of really smart people working in security research and software security. Some of them are friends of ours. And some of those people are frustrated with Apple for any number of reasons. But none of them --- in fact, nobody I know that works in software security --- is particularly upset about http://www.apple.com/macosx/security. It is what it is.
