Installing the FortiDLP Browser Extension on macOS

If you want to enable web monitoring on a macOS device, you must manually install the FortiDLP Browser Extension. This is due to Apple's revised security policies, which limit the FortiDLP Agent's capabilities to directly manage configuration profiles.

The following instructions describe how to install and enable the FortiDLP Browser Extension on a single device by using our macOS accessory bundle configuration profiles.

Brave's New private window with Tor feature cannot be disabled using these instructions, which could be used to anonymously browse the web. The FortiDLP Agent cannot capture browser events when this is used.
