This topic describes Carbon Black Cloud macOS sensors.

Note: For users of Carbon Black Cloud on AWS GovCloud (US), see macOS Operating Systems and Sensors for AWS GovCloud (US) for system information specific to your environment.

Please see the Carbon Black Cloud Sensor Support Policy and the macOS Sensor Support Life Cycle Status page for information regarding Standard or Extended support for specific versions of the macOS Sensor.

All macOS sensors are 64 bit.

Note:
  • "-" indicates through and inclusive of; for example, 12.0.0 - 12.7.1 indicates 12.0.0 through and inclusive of 12.7.1.
  • In the following tables, "X" indicates that that sensor works with that product.
  • "ready" indicates Carbon Black 0-day-support strategy. Sensor version 3.7.2.77 is the first time Carbon Black released a sensor claiming support prior to an Apple’s macOS GM. For further information see, the macOS sensor 3.7.2.81 Release Notes.
Important: Some sensor versions listed here may no longer be supported. Please consult the macOS Sensor Support Life Cycle Status page for information on sensor life cycle support status.

Attention: Note 1 regarding macOS 15

There is a known issue in macOS15 that can result in some network activity being classified incorrectly. As a result, this can impact the efficacy of Endpoint Standard and Enterprise EDR. The problem is expected to be fixed in macOS15.1. We recommend customers upgrade to macOS15.1 as soon as possible. For additional information, see: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/macos-release-notes/macos-15-release-notes
Important: The operating systems listed in the following table are no longer considered supported because there are no supported sensors validated to work with them.
