Software: macOS

All required UCSF Security Software for Macs are automatically installed on all UCSF-issued Macs and bring-your-own-device (BYOD) Macs that enroll in UCSF’s Jamf Pro.  Macs that are exempt from UCSF’s Jamf enrollment must manually download and run the software installers from this page and for anti-virus and EDR software, you must open a request to IT with your computer's serial number to have standalone installers shared to your UCSF Box account.

Security essentials

Trellix Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) for BYOD

Trellix Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) is software designed to monitor, detect, and respond to cybersecurity threats. Trellix EDR helps stop cyberattacks by quickly identifying suspicious behavior, isolating affected systems, and supporting investigation and recovery.

Automatically included and activated with Jamf enrollment

Install Trellix EDR for BYOD Macs (Jamf enrollment required)

Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP) for BYOD

The latest version of Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP) v14.3 RU9 is available through Jamf enrollment. After installing and signing in to the Jamf Self Service.app, search for "Symantec" to install SEP.

SEP 14.3 RU9 supports macOS 12.x - 26.x .

MacOS 14.x (Sonoma) and older versions no longer receive regular security updates as they are no longer supported by Apple. Please upgrade to a supported version of macOS as soon as possible.

Install SEP for BYOD Macs (Jamf Enrollment Required)

CrowdStrike Falcon (AV and EDR) for UCSF-issued Macs

CrowdStrike Falcon replaces Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP) and Trellix FireEye and serves to satisfy antivirus software (AV) and Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) requirements by providing a consolidated security solution that uses fewer resources, resulting in improved system performance and faster cyberattack containment with less disruption to your work. Not available for BYOD at this time. For BYOD, continue to use SEP and Trellix FireEye until further notice.

Remove SEP/FireEye and install CrowdStrike Falcon (Jamf enrollment required)
