MacOS support

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

For DriveLock On-Premise customers, the macOS agent (DriveLock Agent.dmg or DriveLock Agent.pkg) is available on the DriveLock ISO file. Managed services customers can download the macOS Agent package from the installation area in the DriveLock Operations Center (DOC).

From version 2024.1, the Package Installer (*.pkg format) can be used for software distribution.

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.

Please note that data masking is not yet implemented for the macOS agent.

In addition, command line parameters can be used to define a proxy server that is 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.
