Apple recently rolled out its macOS 15 update, also known as Sequoia. However, this update seems to have disrupted the functionality of various security tools from companies like CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, and Microsoft, as reported on social media and a Mac-focused Slack channel.
The exact nature of the issue is still unclear, but it is impacting multiple products designed for macOS users and enterprises, leading to frustration among those involved in macOS security tools.
Patrick Wardle, a macOS security expert and founder of DoubleYou, expressed his frustration, highlighting the challenges faced by developers in the wake of Apple’s software issues. He emphasized the need for Apple to prioritize rigorous testing over marketing efforts to prevent such disruptions.
Upon the release of macOS Sequoia, a CrowdStrike sales engineer acknowledged delays in providing support for the new operating system, citing challenges with networking changes. Similar issues were reported by other cybersecurity vendors, with efforts underway to address the situation.
If you are a cybersecurity company affected by the macOS update, you can reach out securely to Lorenzo Franceschi-Bicchierai via Signal, Telegram, Keybase, or email for further assistance.
The ongoing issues have also impacted products from SentinelOne, ESET, and Microsoft, with users experiencing connectivity issues and other technical glitches. Reports in the Mac community further indicate problems with browser functionality, such as with Firefox, following the macOS Sequoia update.
