Protect your organization's Macs from unwanted sources and traffic, by setting up a firewall using MDM. This creates a virtual barrier to prevent cyber criminals and hackers from discovering the devices, and sending harmful network requests. You can choose to selectively or completely block out untrusted connections from reaching Macs. This safeguards your corporate macOS devices from malware attacks and various cyber threats.
