Deploying the Carbon Black Cloud sensor for macOS Manually with System Extensions

By default, the Carbon Black Cloud macOS sensor version 3.5.1.19 and later installs System Extensions on macOS Big Sur 11.0 and later.

As a Workspace ONE administrator, you must create a macOS device profile by using the Workspace ONE UEM console and then deploy the Carbon Black Cloud sensor for macOS with System Extensions.
