MacOS Sequoia Update Causes Major Cybersecurity Tool Failures

Organizations and universities advise against installing the update due to compatibility and security issues.

Apple's macOS Sequoia update has led to significant problems with third-party cybersecurity software from companies like Microsoft, CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, and ESET.
Several universities, including Harvard and West Virginia University, have advised their communities not to install the update until further notice.
Users have reported issues affecting not just security tools but also general app functionality, including web browsing and network connectivity.
Security experts and developers have criticized Apple for not identifying these issues during beta testing, pointing to potential flaws in Sequoia's firewall and DNS handling.
Apple has yet to comment on the issues or provide a timeline for a fix, leaving many organizations and users in a state of uncertainty.
