Installation

In macOS 10.13 and later, the gatekeeper requests consent from the end user before allowing to load a third party kernel extension for the first time.
It is possible to avoid this by preparing the installation of Endpoint Security on each machine by deploying a Device Management Kernel Extension Policy Payload containing the Check Point team identifier.

In macOS 10.13 and later, the gatekeeper warns when installing quarantined software: 'Endpoint Security installer can't be opened because the identity of the developer cannot be confirmed. Your security preferences allow installation of only apps from the App Store and identified developers.”
The macOS gatekeeper may quarantine third party software for multiple reasons, but it is possible to avoid this by either (1) Right-clicking the EPS installer in Finder and selecting 'Open'. (2) Removing the com.apple.quarantine attribute before opening the EPS installer.

Download el capitan without app store. DMG, then convert El Capitan.DMG to El Capitan.ISO (available solutions in both Mac OS X and Windows).First way, users can obviously download El Capitan OS X 10.11 App from Apple store, then locate where to get the InstallESD.DMG from the installer in Applications folder. Download El Capitan.App from Apple StoreUsers are officially able to download the final version of OS X El Capitan from the App store(The link may not available at the time you reach my article). Second way, you are able to download OS X 10.11.DMG using either the direct download link from our server or torrent method without Apple Store.

In macOS 10.15 and later, the gatekeeper blocks the very first launch of third party executables that require access to user's files and folders.
The end user needs to open the macOS System Preferences Privacy-Full Disk Access dialog and accept each executable. Right after completing installation, Endpoint Security guides the end user to complete this process.

In macOS 10.15.4 and later, the gatekeeper regularly informs the end user about running 'legacy third party kernel extensions'.
