CounterMeasures
CounterMeasures are automated responses to specific events that the macOS Agent detects on your infrastructure. Automated actions are provided but you can also create your own custom CounterMeasures. Supported CounterMeasures are largely the same with Linux CounterMeasures.
Created custom CounterMeasures files can be dropped in the following location:
/usr/local/FortiMonitor/agent/share/fm-agent/countermeasures
