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).

The functionality of macOS support is currently limited to selective blocking of external drives that are connected to macOS clients via a USB interface. This gives administrators the chance to control the usage of external drives on DriveLock macOS Agents so that clients are reliably protected against malware attacks. In addition, it is possible to evaluate some DriveLock events and create corresponding 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.
