Configuring the Firewall (macOS)

This macOS device-based profile configuration enables you to configure firewall settings to prevent unauthorized connections to your enterprise network when:

Table 1. Firewall Settings
Enable Firewall Settings Enable the Firewall on managed macOS devices and display the profile configuration options.
Block All Incoming Connections Block all incoming connections except those required for essential Internet services, such as DHCP, Bonjour, and IPSec.
Enable Stealth Mode Prevent managed macOS devices from responding to probing requests that can reveal their existence. The device still answers requests from authorized apps, but unauthorized requests such as ICMP (ping) get no response.
Add Applications Select the Add button to approve or deny incoming network access for specific apps.
