MacOS / MDATP - MCAS Integration
Currently the MDATP powered cloud discovery, application blocking and other capabilities are restricted to Windows 10 devices. Does the development roadmap for MDATP and MCAS have the same capabilities in development for Mac? Can expect feature parity in areas like this as the Mac MDATP platform matures?
- Hi kylemiller061,
The support for macOS devices is planned to be added by the end of this fiscal year. Stay tuned for more updates to come.
Thanks,
Danny.

Hi there,
any news on this topic?Boris_Kacevich
Regarding to this page https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/security-compliance-and-identity/announcing-microsoft-defender-for-cloud-apps/ba-p/2835842 it should be available. I set it up on an MAC for testing. Using this guidehttps://docs.microsoft.com/de-de/microsoft-365/security/defender-endpoint/mac-install-with-intune?view=o365-worldwide
User and/or device are not showing up under cloudappsecurity under devices/users.

I can see now app blocking in MCAS, creating custom indicators for blocking the sites for Macos when you have network protection on Macos enabled. your defender for the endpoint should be an external version(insider preview ) to keep working network protection.
In short it is blocking the sites of particular app, but not the application
- I confirmed the following with Microsoft O365 support team today (Oct 13, 2021):
Does Defender on MacOS support MCAS unsanctioned application blocking?

Greetings,
Mike Danny Kadyshevitch : Do you have any update on this? Is the progress still expected to be completed by end of 2020?
ShadowScout Hi,
The controls for MacOS should be available as part of the MacOS preview in Microsoft Defender for Endpoints. any app tagged as unsanctioned in MCAS should be blocked on the Mac device.
Discovery is still in our backlog planned for 2021 CY.

Danny Kadyshevitch Any updates on this front?
Hi Saif_Rahman
Nice to meet you.
MacOS support is still planned for the end 2020CY.
The plan is to roll out with app controls - e.g app allow/block access.
During 2021CY we plan to introduce Shadow IT discovery for MacOS as well.
Best,
Boris
Support for MacOS for Discovery is on the roadmap but at the moment we don't have an ETA.
- Any update of this Topic? When will you support to Mac? and Linux?
Best regards
