Prevent others from using apps. With iLocker™ Mac, you can make your Mac not only even more safe but also more flexible if you share your Mac with others. ILocker™ Mac password-protects each app such as Apple Mail, Photos, Contacts, Safari, Games from unauthorized access. Move the apps you want to protect to a password protected Disk Image. Then put an alias of them in your Applications folder. When an app is run it's going to ask you for the password of the Disk Image. Parental Controls work too.
-->This article shows you the endpoint protection settings that you can configure for devices that run macOS. You configure these settings by using a macOS device configuration profile for endpoint protection in Intune.
Before you begin
Create a macOS endpoint protection profile.
Firewall
Use the firewall to control connections per-application, rather than per-port. Using per-application settings makes it easier to get the benefits of firewall protection. It also helps prevent undesirable apps from taking control of network ports that are open for legitimate apps.
- Enable FirewallTurn use of Firewall on macOS and then configure how incoming connections are handled in your environment.
- Not configured (default)
- Yes
- Block all incoming connectionsBlock all incoming connections except the connections required for basic Internet services, such as DHCP, Bonjour, and IPSec. This feature also blocks all sharing services, such as File Sharing and Screen Sharing. If you're using sharing services, then keep this setting as Not configured.
- Not configured (default)
- Yes
When you set Block all incoming connections to Not configured, you can then configure which apps can or can't receive incoming connections.Apps allowed: Configure a list of apps that are allowed to receive incoming connections.- Add apps by bundle ID: Enter the bundle ID of the app. Apple's web site has a list of built-in Apple apps.
- Add store app: Select a store app you previously added in Intune. For more information, see Add apps to Microsoft Intune.
Apps blocked: Configure a list of apps that have incoming connections blocked.- Add apps by bundle ID: Enter the bundle ID of the app. Apple's web site has a list of built-in Apple apps.
- Add store app: Select a store app you previously added in Intune. For more information, see Add apps to Microsoft Intune.
- Enable stealth modeTo prevent the computer from responding to probing requests, enable stealth mode. The device continues to answer incoming requests for authorized apps. Unexpected requests, such as ICMP (ping), are ignored.
- Not configured (default)
- Yes
Gatekeeper
- Allow apps downloaded from these locationsLimit the apps a device can launch, depending on where the apps were downloaded from. The intent is to protect devices from malware, and allow apps from only the sources you trust.
- Not configured (default)
- Mac App Store
- Mac App Store and identified developers
- Anywhere
- Do not allow user to override GatekeeperPrevents users from overriding the Gatekeeper setting, and prevents users from Control clicking to install an app. When enabled, users can Control-click any app, and install it.
- Not configured (default) - Users can Control-click to install apps.
- Yes - Prevents users from using Control-click to install apps.
FileVault
For more information about Apple FileVault settings, see FDEFileVault in the Apple developer content.
Important
As of macOS 10.15, FileVault configuration requires user approved MDM enrollment.
- Enable FileVaultYou can enable Full Disk Encryption using XTS-AES 128 with FileVault on devices that run macOS 10.13 and later.
- Not configured (default)
- Yes
When Enable FileVault is set to Yes, you can configure the following settings:- Recovery key typePersonal key recovery keys are created for devices. Configure the following settings for the personal key.
- Escrow location description of personal recovery keySpecify a short message to the user that explains how and where they can retrieve their personal recovery key. This text is inserted into the message the user sees on their sign in screen when prompted to enter their personal recovery key if a password is forgotten.
- Personal recovery key rotationSpecify how frequently the personal recovery key for a device will rotate. You can select the default of Not configured, or a value of 1 to 12 months.
- Hide recovery keyChoose to hide the personal key from a device user during FileVault 2 encryption.
- Not configured (default) – The personal key is visible to the device user during encryption.
- Yes - The personal key is hidden from the device user during encryption.
After encryption, device users can view their personal recovery key for an encrypted macOS device from the following locations:- iOS/iPadOS company portal app
- Intune app
- company portal website
- Android company portal app
To view the key, from the app or website, go to device details of the encrypted macOS device and select get recovery key. - Disable prompt at sign outPrevent the prompt to the user that requests they enable FileVault when they sign out. When set to Disable, the prompt at sign-out is disabled and instead, the user is prompted when they sign in.
- Not configured (default)
- Yes - Disable the prompt at sign-out.
- Number of times allowed to bypassSet the number of times a user can ignore prompts to enable FileVault before FileVault is required for the user to sign in.
- Not configured - Encryption on the device is required before the next sign-in is allowed.
- 0 - Require devices to encrypt the next time a user signs in to the device.
- 1 to 10 - Allow a user to ignore the prompt from 1 to 10 times before requiring encryption on the device.
- No limit, always prompt - The user is prompted to enable FileVault but encryption is never required.
The default for this setting depends on the configuration of Disable prompt at sign out. When Disable prompt at sign out is set to Not configured, this setting defaults to Not configured. When Disable prompt at sign out is set to Yes, this setting defaults to 1 and a value of Not configured isn't an option.
