Mac Exploit Protection Modules (EPMs)

To combat attackers from leveraging software vulnerabilities on Mac endpoints, Traps employs the following exploit protection modules (EPMs):
Name
Type
Description
Dylib-Hijacking Protection
Application Protection
Prevents Dylib-hijacking attacks where the attacker attempts to load dynamic libraries from unsecured locations to gain control of a process.
JIT Mitigation
