There are additional protections, particularly on a Mac with Apple silicon, to limit the potential damage of malware that does manage to execute. These protections, further described below, combine to support best-practice protection from viruses and malware. XProtect adds to this defence, along with Gatekeeper and Notarisation.įinally, XProtect acts to remediate malware that has managed to successfully execute.

The next layer of defence is to help ensure that if malware appears on any Mac, it’s quickly identified and blocked, both to halt spread and to remediate the Mac systems it’s already gained a foothold on. The first layer of defence is designed to inhibit the distribution of malware, and prevent it from launching even once - this is the goal of the App Store, and Gatekeeper combined with Notarisation. Remediate malware that has executed: XProtect Block malware from running on customer systems: Gatekeeper, Notarisation and XProtectģ.
