Configure CrowdStrike Falcon Sensor on macOS devices

CrowdStrike Falcon is a cloud-based security solution that provides excellent antivirus protection for your macOS and Windows devices.

It uses advanced technology, including artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), to detect and stop security threats and malware before they can damage your systems.

Once you click the Select button, the next step is to create a Post-install (7) custom script to license your CrowdStrike Falcon:

				
					#!/bin/bash
sudo /Applications/Falcon.app/Contents/Resources/falconctl license 'LICENSE_TOKEN'
				
			
custom-post-install-script

Additional considerations #

Make sure the path to the Falcon Sensors executable is accurate for the version of macOS being used.

Confirm that the script has the required permissions to execute the sudo command.

Falcon Sensors may request specific system permissions, such as System Policy All Files. You can manage these permissions in the Privacy Preferences Policy Control on your MDM platform.
