The Falcon platform provided initial M1 support through Rosetta 2 emulation layers, ensuring that customers running with new M1 chips were protected. Apple updates continued beyond the major Big Sur OS introduction and extended into the architecture with a shift from Intel x86 to an Apple-designed processor called M1. Knowing many macOS users love to be on the cutting-edge and quickly adopt new capabilities, CrowdStrike got to work early in 2020 and was one of the first vendors to offer Day One support for the Big Sur OS with a generally available version of the Falcon agent. CrowdStrike comprehensive coverage goes beyond next-generation antivirus (NGAV) and endpoint detection and response (EDR) with macOS capabilities spanning threat intelligence, IT hygiene, device control and enhanced visibility through Zero Trust Assessment.
Day One support for major OS updates eliminates gaps in coverage and the “here we go again” stress for teams supporting Mac environments. With its single lightweight agent and cloud-native security platform, the Falcon platform offers comprehensive Mac endpoint protection simply and effectively. Utilizing the Crowdstrike CrowdStrike Falcon® platform, teams can awaken their inner Theodore Roosevelt to “speak softly and carry a big stick.” Extending Visibility and Security Management with macOSĬrowdStrike is an industry leader in endpoint protection across operating systems. With the increases in utilization and unwanted attention from threat actors, macOS security through obscurity is no more. Compared to Windows systems in the same organization, macOS systems often lack monitoring and management, enabling threat actors to stay active and undetected in macOS environments for months. IDC believes that contributing factors for the Mac’s recent surge in adoption include the COVID-19 pandemic, end user preference and OS-flexible cloud business capabilities.ĬrowdStrike Services has observed threat actors increasingly targeting macOS environments and gaining access in numerous ways, from adware and phishing attacks to sophisticated malware-free and “living off the land” approaches. Recent IDC analysis shows macOS devices have reached a whopping 23% utilization in enterprises (with 1,000+ employees) during 2020 - a 6% increase over 2019.
MacOS is ubiquitous in enterprise environments, with no signs of slowing down.
