DriveLock macOS support

DriveLock supports assigning centrally stored policies to DriveLock Agents running Catalina (10.15) OS and above on Intel and ARM architectures.

DriveLock on-premise customers can find the macOS Agent (DriveLock Agent.dmg) on the DriveLock ISO file. Managed services customers can download the macOS Agent package from the installation area in the DriveLock Operations Center (DOC).

DriveLock macOS support is currently limited to selective blocking of external drives that end users connect to their macOS clients via a USB interface. This feature lets administrators control the usage of external drives thus making sure that the DriveLock macOS Agents are reliably protected against malware attacks. In addition, admins can check the related DriveLock events and create event filter definitions.

Starting with version 2023.1, command line parameters can also be used to specify a proxy server used for downloads and DES communication.

The DriveLock Agent comes as a system extension and as such supports the Apple Endpoint Security Framework. For more information on system extensions and Endpoint Security, click here and here.
