Intego launched The Mac Security Blog, a blog that covers Mac security news, Apple security updates, Mac malware alerts, as well as news and opinion pieces related to Apple products, in mid-2007.[2] The company launched a podcast in October 2017, called the Intego Mac Podcast.[7]

Intego released its current X9 version of antivirus and security software in June 2016,[8] which has since had several under-the-hood updates, including compatibility with new macOS releases and Apple silicon processors.[9]
