Supported Cyber Protect features by operating system

The Cyber Protect features are supported on the following operating systems:

• Windows: Windows 7 Service Pack 1 and later, Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1 and later.

  Windows Defender Antivirus management is supported on Windows 8.1 and later.

• Linux: CentOS 6.10, 7.8+, CloudLinux 6.10, 7.8+, Ubuntu 16.04.7+, where plus refers to minor versions of these distributions.

  Other Linux distributions and versions might be supported, but have not been tested.

• macOS: 10.13.x and later (only Antivirus and Antimalware protection, and Device control are supported). Device control functionality is supported on macOS 10.15 and later or macOS 11.2.3 and later.

  Agent for Data Loss Prevention might be installed on unsupported macOS systems because it is an integral part of Agent for Mac. In this case, the Cyber Protect console will display that Agent for Data Loss Prevention is installed on the computer, but the device control functionality will not work. Device control functionality will only work on macOS systems that are supported by Agent for Data Loss Prevention.
