This section introduces ways to install macOS sensors on endpoints.

Important: Before you begin the processes described here, read Getting Started with Sensor Installation. It contains highly relevant information to help you succeed in your sensor installation.

We highly recommend customers using Carbon Black Cloud Mac sensor versions 3.7.1.12 and 3.7.2.77 to adopt versions 3.7.1.17 and 3.7.2.81 by January 9, 2023. Please see 3.7.1.17 release notes and 3.7.2.81 release notes for additional details. Sensor versions 3.7.1.12 and 3.7.2.77 will be deprecated by January 9th, 2023.

If you use Method 1: Invite Users to Install Sensors on Endpoints to install the macOS sensor 3.6.1 or later, an Advanced option allows you to enable FIPS. Instruct your users not to enable FIPS. This feature is not supported for commercial instances of the Carbon Black Cloud.

Before you can install sensors, you must perform the following steps:

Step 1: Obtain a Company Registration Code

Step 2: Download Sensor Kits
