ThreatLocker DAC for macOS Beta Release
Summary
Hide ▲
Show ▼
ThreatLocker has released a new security layer for macOS called Defense Against Configurations (DAC) in Beta. The tool aims to identify and remediate configuration gaps that can be exploited by attackers. These gaps often go unnoticed and can include default settings left open, outdated network protocols, or disabled encryption. The DAC for macOS scans Macs up to four times per day, identifying risky or noncompliant settings and providing clear remediation guidance. The Beta focuses on high-value controls such as disk encryption status, firewall status, sharing and remote access settings, local administrator accounts, automatic update settings, and selected security and privacy preferences. The goal is to shorten the path from discovery to fix, aligning with major security frameworks such as CIS, NIST, ISO 27001, and HIPAA.
