Apple will stop supporting kernel extensions starting macOS 11 Big Sur version. Therefore an update to the Microsoft Defender ATP for Mac agent is required on all eligible macOS devices prior to moving these devices to macOS 11.
The update is applicable to devices running macOS version 10.15.4 or later.
To ensure that the Microsoft Defender ATP for Mac update is delivered and applied seamlessly from an end-user experience perspective, a new remote configuration must be deployed to all eligible macOS devices before Microsoft publishes the new agent version.
