Gatekeeper technology and runtime protection ensures that only trusted software runs on a user\u2019s macOS device.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gatekeeper verifies that software, plug-ins, and installer packages that users download outside of the Apple App Store are safe to use. Gatekeeper also verifies that downloads originate from identified developers, the downloads have not been altered or contain malicious content, and user approval is requested before the software is opened for the first time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the Gatekeeper Control policy is applied to a device, it controls which applications are allowed to install and run based on selected options, such as only allowing downloads from the App Store\u2019s identified developers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To create a Gatekeeper Control Policy for Mac<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
