Note

In alignment with macOS evolution, we are preparing a Microsoft Defender ATP for Mac update that leverages system extensions instead of kernel extensions.

In the meantime, starting with macOS Catalina update 10.15.4, Apple introduced a user facing Legacy System Extension warning to signal applications that rely on kernel extensions.

If you have previously whitelisted the kernel extension as part of your remote deployment, that warning should not be presented to the end user. If you have not previously deployed a policy to whitelist the kernel extension, your users will be presented with the warning. To proactively silence the warning, you can still deploy a configuration to whitelist the kernel extension. Refer to the instructions in the JAMF-based deployment and Microsoft Intune-based deployment topics.

  Caution

  macOS 10.15 (Catalina) contains new security and privacy enhancements.

In the absence of this consent, Microsoft Defender ATP is not able to fully protect your device.

  The mechanism for granting this consent depends on how you deployed Microsoft Defender ATP:

  • For manual deployments, see the updated instructions in the Manual deployment topic.
  • For managed deployments, see the updated instructions in the JAMF-based deployment and Microsoft Intune-based deployment topics.
