Anti-Virus Update for College Owned Apple Computers

02/03/19

Contributed by Andrew Hogan

As part of the ongoing effort by the Information Technology department to ensure a safe and secure computing environment, a new anti-virus program (CrowdStrike Falcon Protect) will be automatically deployed to all IC Apple computers beginning the week of February 4th.  

Although the rollout of the new anti-virus will initiate automatically and be completed ‘behind the scenes’ you may receive a prompt when the old anti-virus is later uninstalled. The prompt starts “System Center Endpoint Protection.app is not optimized for your Mac…”). If this prompt is encountered please click <OK> to proceed.

With better support, management, and ability to mitigate malware, we expect this new anti-virus program to improve the security of IC’s Macintosh computers and your information. Please contact the Information Technology Service Desk at (607) 274-1000 if you have any questions. Thank you.
