Business of Tech | Apple Addresses macOS Sequoia Cybersecurity Bugs Ahead of Major AI Launch with iOS 18.1

I noted that the new macOS Sequoia broke some cybersecurity tools.   Apple has released an update for macOS 15 (Sequoia) that addresses bugs affecting the functionality of several cybersecurity tools, including those from CrowdStrike and Microsoft. The update, macOS 15.0.1, improves compatibility with third-party security software and resolves networking issues that cybersecurity professionals reported.

While I’m on Apple, Apple Intelligence is set to launch on October 28, 2024, alongside iOS 18.1, marking Apple’s entry into the AI space. The initial release will feature basic functionalities like notification summaries, with more advanced features expected in future updates, including improved Siri and integration with ChatGPT.

Why do we care?

These are tactical updates – that macOS update is required for those with security tools, and be warned of new AI starting to roll out to users in twenty days.
