Thanks. I've also seen that list from our IT group. The issue is that it is out of date. Two examples - the Avast Mac Antivirus software (the free version) is up to V11.5; the Sophos Antivirus for Mac (free version) has been completely revamped and is now distributed as "Sophos Home", at V1.1.1.

 

It seems our IT group is using something like this list to use the F5 package to check the antivirus hygiene of Macs attempting to remote desktop connect to the corporate servers. And it is obviously a drag since the list is out of date, so many Macs (mine included) fail the check because they are running newer versions of the antivirus software.

Dear All,

 

Kindly use epsec 1.0.0-463.0, I have tested APM access by updating epsec 1.0.0-463.0 and to be honest it really works.

 

Hope this info will be helpful for you.
