Issue/Introduction

Process exclusion for MacOS does not catch all instances

Environment

  • EDR Sensor: All Supported Versions
  • Apple MacOS: All Supported Versions

Cause

  • Processes such as launchd that start as part of the boot sequence ahead of the sensor daemon and/or launches the sensor itself will not be excluded.
  • If an already running system process loading a new image during the boot sequence it will also not be excluded.

Resolution

This is currently working as designed.
