Tamper Protection will Extend to macOS Devices

Originally posted by Microsoft Feb 10, 2023 Uncategorized 0 Comments

Tamper protection will extend to macOS devices and will be turned on in block mode by default to help secure your Mac against threats.

When this will happen:

Rollout will begin in mid-May and is expected to be complete by late July.

How this will affect your organization:

To enhance your endpoint security posture, tamper protection will soon be enabled by default in block mode. You can change your tamper protection settings by using a Mobile Device Management (MDM) solution such as Intune (recommended), or by modifying settings manually on the Mac (not recommended) with the following command: "sudo mdatp config tamper-protection enforcement-level --value (chosen mode)"

You can also expect to see a banner notification when this update is rolled out.
