I understand about the use of SELinux and non UID 0 accounts and realize that its a much different environment but if I can remotely exploit a Linux machine in a pentest I fail to see why a virus can't do the same thing in an automated fashion. In addition, a good antivirus suite often has firewall, IDS, endpoint controls and network access control client built-in. Yes I know I can do these things with iptables and snort and what not, but not from a centralized management interface (at least not that I'm aware of)

Since I work for a state government agency, this is not something that I can just send a memo to the CIO and get changed. Many of our requirements come from the Agency for Enterprise IT, AEIT (What used to be the State Technology Office, STO) and are out of our control. This is why I need to find a decent solution.
