APPL-11-000015 - The macOS system must utilize an Endpoint Security Solution (ESS) and implement all DoD required modules.

Information

The macOS system must employ automated mechanisms to determine the state of system components. The DoD requires the installation and use of an approved ESS to be implemented on the operating system. For additional information, reference all applicable ESS OPORDs and FRAGOs on SIPRNET.

NOTE: Nessus has not performed this check. Please review the benchmark to ensure target compliance.

Solution

Install an approved ESS onto the system and ensure that all components are at least updated to their DoD-approved minimal versions.
