Title

The macOS Version Must Be Supported by the Vendor

Control

The technology supports this requirement and cannot be configured to be out of compliance. The technology inherently meets this requirement.

Discussion

Unsupported software and systems should not be used because fixes to newly identified bugs will not be implemented by the vendor. The lack of support can result in potential vulnerabilities.

Software and systems at unsupported servicing levels or releases will not receive security updates for new vulnerabilities, which leaves them subject to exploitation.

When maintenance updates and patches are no longer available, software is no longer considered supported and should be upgraded or decommissioned.

Fix

The technology inherently meets this requirement. No fix is required.
