What is one of the prerequisites for installing Falcon on a Mac?

Full Disk Access is a necessary prerequisite for installing Falcon on a Mac. Granting this access is critical because it allows the Falcon agent to monitor and protect all files and processes on the system effectively. This includes being able to detect malicious activity and protect against potential threats that other applications might not have the privilege to access.

Without Full Disk Access, the Falcon agent would be limited in its ability to function optimally, potentially leaving vulnerabilities in areas where malicious software might hide or operate undetected. This level of access is especially important given macOS's strict permissions model designed to enhance user security and privacy.

In contrast, aspects such as authorization for the system firewall, external security permission, or the completion of a security audit might be relevant in different contexts of security practices but do not specifically address the operational requirements necessary for the Falcon installation on Mac systems.
