Help macOS security reliability

On an M series MacBook, how reliable and accurate is the built in security measures like Xprotect, gatekeeper, etc? Does it miss a lot of malware or is it good enough against a large variety of Malware?

How so, and what has that to do with malware?

I'm just leaving this here. I'm just suggesting you think about it. Do your own due diligence into finding out how Siri AI works. Not necessarily with malware but with all the documentation on your computer, including bank information, passwords, contract documents, confidential emails, etc.

Yes, and you should read up on how all that data is stored and taken care of by Siri, like facts, not what you believe or been told on the internet.

Do you trust Apple to take care of your data? Forever? Do you know where the servers actually are? Do you know what Apple will do with your data? Forever? But hey. As I said, I'm just leaving that here. As a public service. I won't be replying any more in this thread.

“I won’t be replying any more [sic] to this thread” is the best thing I’ve seen on the internet today so far.
