Closing the macOS Gap: Endpoint DLP & Privilege Control
macOS is no longer a niche platform for creative teams — it's now a mission-critical part of enterprise IT. From executives handling financial data to developers building intellectual property, Mac users often have the most sensitive access in your organization. Yet they frequently operate with weaker security controls than their Windows counterparts.
As macOS adoption continues to surge across enterprises (up more than 30% in recent years), so does the risk. Insider-driven data incidents have increased 28% between 2023 and 2024, with the average cost per incident now exceeding $676,000. Unmonitored devices, unchecked admin rights, and unseen data movement create dangerous blind spots that auditors and attackers are quick to exploit.
This eBook explores why current security tools fail on macOS, where the hidden risks emerge, and how to close the enforcement gap with policy-driven data loss prevention (DLP) and privilege control — without sacrificing productivity.
In this eBook, you'll learn how to
- Identify the hidden risks in your macOS environment, including unmonitored devices, unchecked admin rights, SaaS sprawl, and unseen data flows that create compliance blind spots.
- Understand why current tools fail on macOS, from over-restrictive policies that block productivity to under-protective controls that leave data channels wide open.
- Implement the three enforcement superpowers for macOS: control the data, control the user, and control the environment with cross-platform consistency.
- Deploy endpoint DLP for Mac to cut off unauthorized data movement across AirDrop, Bluetooth, USB, printers, cloud sync apps, and more.
- Enforce least privilege on macOS by removing standing admin rights and applying policy-based elevation that doesn't slow users down.
- Prove compliance for HIPAA, PCI DSS, GDPR, CMMC, and ISO 27001 with audit-ready logs and enforced policies that demonstrate control at the endpoint.
- Leverage zero-day macOS support to stay ahead of every Apple release without security gaps.
