Endpoint Security for Mac (ENSM) Adaptive Threat Protection (ATP) 10.x ENSM Firewall 10.x ENSM Threat Prevention 10.x Apple macOS High Sierra 10.13.x and later Summary
To improve security on Mac systems, macOS High Sierra 10.13 introduces a new feature, Secure Kernel Extension Loading (SKEL). This feature requires end-user consent to load any third-party kernel extensions that are installed after the installation of macOS High Sierra. This feature needed changes to be made in ENSM 10.2.3 and later for a better end-user experience.
Problem
Because of SKEL, the kernel extensions of ENSM Threat Prevention - on-access scan, Firewall, and Self-Protection aren't allowed to load without end-user consent. SKEL doesn't impact ENSM Web Control, DAT and Engine updates, and on-demand scans. Solution
See the following table for the end-user experience in installation and upgrade scenarios that ENSM supports on macOS High Sierra 10.13 and later.
