Apple
rolled
out
the
stable
version
of
macOS
15
update,
also
known
as
macOS
Sequoia,
to
all
users
on
Monday.
However,
it
appears
the
update
has
created
some
unexpected
issues
for
users,
especially
around
third-party
security
tools.
As
per
a
report,
the
Cupertino-based
giant’s
operating
system
(OS)
is
breaking
down
network-based
security
software
by
Microsoft,
CrowdStrike,
and
others.
Since
the
security
tool
makers
offer
enterprise-grade
tools,
the
update
could
have
put
businesses
running
exclusively
on
Mac
devices
at
risk.
Currently,
the
cause
of
the
issue
is
unknown.
TechCrunch
reports
that
the
macOS
Sequoia
update
has
impacted
the
functionality
of
security
tools
developed
by
Microsoft,
CrowdStrike,
SentinelOne,
and
other
manufacturers.
The
publication
cited
a
Mac-focused
Slack
channel
where
many
users
complained
about
the
issue.
Gadgets
360
staff
members
also
found
Reddit
multiple
threads
where
users
found
that
the
security
apps
were
not
working
after
updating
macOS.
Some
claimed
the
lack
of
support
for
the
security
tools
could
be
because
of
numerous
glitches
in
the
operating
system.
One
user
said,
“Amazing
it
isn’t
supported
yet.
Beta’s
have
been
available
for
a
while,
dev
builds
even
earlier
–
I
assume
they
have
a
dev
account.
Unless
something
is
really,
really,
broken
on
Apple’s
side
–
there
isn’t
an
excuse.”
The
main
concern
with
this
issue
is
that
Mac
devices
are
used
by
many
organisations
exclusively,
and
issues
with
security
systems
can
pose
a
major
risk.
As
per
the
report,
one
CrowdStrike
sales
engineer
mentioned
in
the
abovementioned
Slack
room
that
the
security
tools
will
not
be
supported
despite
the
company’s
best
efforts
on
day
one.
It
is
unclear
whether
the
tool
is
currently
supported
or
not.
Another
Reddit
user
claimed
that
the
macOS
Sequoia
issues
are
affecting
apps
outside
of
the
security
tools
as
well.
The
user
found
that
almost
90
percent
of
the
apps
were
suffering
from
issues
in
the
M1
Max-powered
MacBook
Pro.
“Also
met
the
wifi
issue,
fully
cannot
access
the
internet
even
tho
can
connect
to
phone
hotspot[..]if
it
is
still
like
this,
then
tomorrow
I
will
do
nothing
at
work,”
he
added.
Will
Dormann,
a
security
researcher,
posted
on
Mastodon
that
he
faced
issues
with
DNS
for
several
apps
as
well
as
the
firewall
working
properly
on
his
device.
So
far,
Apple
has
not
issued
any
statement
regarding
when
these
issues
will
be
fixed.
