Overview
Endpoint Security Suite Enterprise for Mac offers Advanced Threat Prevention at the operating system and memory layers and
encryption, all centrally-managed from the Dell Server. With centralized management, consolidated compliance reporting, and
console threat alerts, businesses can easily enforce and prove compliance for all of their endpoints. Security expertise is built in
with features such as pre-defined policy and report templates, to help businesses reduce IT management costs and complexity.
● Endpoint Security Suite Enterprise for Mac - a suite of software for client encryption of data and Advanced Threat
Prevention.
● Policy Proxy - used to distribute policies
● Security Server - used for client encryption software activations
● Security Management Server or Security Management Server Virtual - provides centralized security policy administration,
integrates with existing enterprise directories and creates reports. For the purposes of this document, both Servers are cited
as Dell Server, unless a specific version needs to be cited (for example, a procedure is different using Security Management
Server Virtual).
These Dell components inter-operate seamlessly to provide a secure mobile environment without detracting from the user
experience.
Endpoint Security Suite Enterprise for Mac has two .dmg files - one for the Encryption client and one for Advanced Threat
Prevention. You can install both or one only.
FileVault Encryption
Dell Encryption can manage Mac FileVault full disk encryption. The Dell Volume Encryption policy must be set to On for
encryption to take place and for other policy settings to function. For information on additional policies, see AdminHelp.
Only FileVault encryption is supported, which Endpoint Security Suite Enterprise will manage. If a computer has the Dell Volume
Encryption policy set to On and Encrypt Using FileVault for Mac set to Off, a policy conflict message displays on the Encryption
client. The administrator must set both policies to On.
