Network Protection for macOS starting deployment to General Availability on 1/31!

Microsoft Defender for Endpoint has good news for its macOS users. The Network Protection feature for macOS will soon be available to all the on-boarded macOS devices with the Microsoft Defender for Endpoint tenant. However, the minimum macOS version should be 11 (Big Sur) with product version 101.94.13 or later. If your organization does not use macOS devices, you can disregard this message. The rollout will begin on January 31, 2023, with target completion by March 24, 2023.

When the feature rolls out, all the configured Network Protection and Web Threat Protection policies will be enforced on the macOS devices with Network Protection configured for block mode. To prepare for the rollout, Network Protection must be enabled by the organization. Deploying the audit or block mode policy to a small set of devices is suggested and must be verified before gradually deploying to more devices. Review and understand the impact of Web Threat Protection, Custom Indicators of Compromise, Web Content Filtering, and MDA Endpoint Enforcement policies.

So, get ready for the Network Protection deployment on your macOS devices to enjoy uninterrupted services. The post Network Protection for macOS starting deployment to General Availability on 1/31! appeared first on M365 Admin.
