Supported Cyber Protect Features by Operating System
NOTE:
This topic contains information about all Cyber Protect features and the operating systems on which they are supported. Some features might require additional licensing, depending on the applied licensing model.
The Cyber Protect features are supported on the following operating systems:
- Windows: Windows 7 Service Pack 1 and later, Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1 and later.
Windows Defender Antivirus management is supported on Windows 8.1 and later.
- Linux: CentOS 6.10, 7.8+, CloudLinux 6.10, 7.8+, Ubuntu 16.04.7+, where plus refers to minor versions of these distributions.
Other Linux distributions and versions might be supported, but have not been tested.
- macOS: 10.13.x and later (only Antivirus and Antimalware protection, and Device control are supported). Device control functionality is supported on macOS 10.15 and later or macOS 11.2.3 and later.
Agent for Data Loss Prevention might be installed on unsupported macOS systems because it is an integral part of Agent for Mac. In this case, the Cyber Protect console will display that Agent for Data Loss Prevention is installed on the computer, but the device control functionality will not work. Device control functionality will only work on macOS systems that are supported by Agent for Data Loss Prevention.
NOTE:
Antimalware protection for Linux and macOS is supported only when Advanced antimalware protection is enabled.
Important:
The Cyber Protect features are only supported for machines on which a protection agent is installed. For virtual machines protected in agentless mode, for example, by Agent for Hyper-V, Agent for VMware, Agent for Virtuozzo Hybrid Infrastructure, Agent for Scale Computing, or Agent for oVirt only backup is supported.

* Static analysis for portable executable files is supported only for scheduled scans on macOS.
** Start conditions are not supported for on-demand scanning on Linux.
*** File/folder exclusions are only supported for the case when you specify files and folders that will not be scanned by real-time protection or scheduled scans on macOS.
**** The vulnerability assessment depends on the availability of official security advisories for specific distribution, for example https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-announce/, https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-cr-announce/, and others.
