Prepare for installation
Before installing Kaspersky Endpoint Security on your computer, it is recommended to do the following:
- Make sure that your computer meets the hardware and software requirements.
- Remove Kaspersky Internet Security for Mac or any other anti-virus applications to avoid system conflicts and maximize system performance.
Note: Before installing Kaspersky Endpoint Security remotely, we recommend that you download the KES_profile.zip archive from Kaspersky Technical Support website and apply the KES_profile.mobileconfig configuration profile on the client computer using Apple Remote Management tools. This will allow Kaspersky Endpoint Security to get the following: permissions to install the kernel extension and the system extension, full disk access, and permissions to configure network connections. To learn more about the configuration profile and other options, visit the Technical Support website.
