macOS Sequoia | What’s New in Privacy and Security for Enterprise?
Monday September 16th saw Apple release the newest version of its Mac operating system, macOS 15 Sequoia, and SentinelOne was delighted to announce support for this version of macOS on the day of release .
While the original announcement of Sequoia at WWDC 2024 focused heavily on a raft of “AI” features – largely absent so far – less attention was given to the privacy and security changes in macOS 15. In this post, we bring you a quick roundup of the features in Sequoia that enterprise security teams should be aware of before upgrading .
As always, the first thing with any new OS release is to determine which enterprise assets will need to be added to the sunset list. With Sequoia, only two models that currently run macOS 14 Sonoma will be unable to upgrade to macOS 15 Sequoia: MacBook Air 2018 and MacBook Air 2019.
macOS Sequoia brings with it a full, standalone GUI version of the passwords that have up to now been locked inside Safari and System Preferences, both of which are really just (partial) front ends for the macOS and iCloud Keychain technology.
