Ipc For Mac



Ipc

  1. In Part 1 of this blog series we discussed about various techniques available for Inter-Process Communication (IPC) on Mac OS X. As discussed in the previous post Apple Events are the only IPC mechanism which is universally supported by GUI applications on Mac OS X for remote control. Operation like opening a application or telling a application to open a file or to quit etc. Can be done using.
  2. Free Download IPC360 for PC with the guide at BrowserCam. Despite the fact that IPC360 application is introduced for the Android mobile phone as well as iOS by undefined. You may install IPC360 on PC for windows computer. Let us check out the specifications to download IPC360 PC on MAC or windows computer with not much headache.

Inter process communication (IPC) is a mechanism which allows processes to communicate with each other and synchronize their actions. The communication between these processes can be seen as a method of co-operation between them. Processes can communicate with each other through both: Shared Memory; Message passing.

Mac

Welcome to Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, the new name for Microsoft Defender Advanced Threat Protection. Read more about this and other updates here. We'll be updating names in products and in the docs in the near future.

Applies to:

Microsoft is committed to providing you with the information and controls you need to make choices about how your data is collected and used when you’re using Microsoft Defender ATP for Mac.

This topic describes the privacy controls available within the product, how to manage these controls with policy settings and more details on the data events that are collected.

Overview of privacy controls in Microsoft Defender ATP for Mac

This section describes the privacy controls for the different types of data collected by Microsoft Defender ATP for Mac.

Diagnostic data

Diagnostic data is used to keep Microsoft Defender ATP secure and up-to-date, detect, diagnose and fix problems, and also make product improvements.

Some diagnostic data is required, while some diagnostic data is optional. We give you the ability to choose whether to send us required or optional diagnostic data through the use of privacy controls, such as policy settings for organizations.

There are two levels of diagnostic data for Microsoft Defender ATP client software that you can choose from:

  • Required: The minimum data necessary to help keep Microsoft Defender ATP secure, up-to-date, and performing as expected on the device it’s installed on.

  • Optional: Additional data that helps Microsoft make product improvements and provides enhanced information to help detect, diagnose, and remediate issues.

By default, only required diagnostic data is sent to Microsoft.

Cloud delivered protection data

Cloud delivered protection is used to provide increased and faster protection with access to the latest protection data in the cloud.

Enabling the cloud-delivered protection service is optional, however it is highly recommended because it provides important protection against malware on your endpoints and across your network.

Sample data

Sample data is used to improve the protection capabilities of the product, by sending Microsoft suspicious samples so they can be analyzed. Enabling automatic sample submission is optional.

When this feature is enabled and the sample that is collected is likely to contain personal information, the user is prompted for consent.

Manage privacy controls with policy settings

If you're an IT administrator, you might want to configure these controls at the enterprise level.

The privacy controls for the various types of data described in the preceding section are described in detail in Set preferences for Microsoft Defender ATP for Mac.

As with any new policy settings, you should carefully test them out in a limited, controlled environment to ensure the settings that you configure have the desired effect before you implement the policy settings more widely in your organization.

Diagnostic data events

This section describes what is considered required diagnostic data and what is considered optional diagnostic data, along with a description of the events and fields that are collected.

Data fields that are common for all events

There is some information about events that is common to all events, regardless of category or data subtype.

The following fields are considered common for all events:

FieldDescription
platformThe broad classification of the platform on which the app is running. Allows Microsoft to identify on which platforms an issue may be occurring so that it can correctly be prioritized.
machine_guidUnique identifier associated with the device. Allows Microsoft to identify whether issues are impacting a select set of installs and how many users are impacted.
sense_guidUnique identifier associated with the device. Allows Microsoft to identify whether issues are impacting a select set of installs and how many users are impacted.
org_idUnique identifier associated with the enterprise that the device belongs to. Allows Microsoft to identify whether issues are impacting a select set of enterprises and how many enterprises are impacted.
hostnameLocal device name (without DNS suffix). Allows Microsoft to identify whether issues are impacting a select set of installs and how many users are impacted.
product_guidUnique identifier of the product. Allows Microsoft to differentiate issues impacting different flavors of the product.
app_versionVersion of the Microsoft Defender ATP for Mac application. Allows Microsoft to identify which versions of the product are showing an issue so that it can correctly be prioritized.
sig_versionVersion of security intelligence database. Allows Microsoft to identify which versions of the security intelligence are showing an issue so that it can correctly be prioritized.
supported_compressionsList of compression algorithms supported by the application, for example ['gzip']. Allows Microsoft to understand what types of compressions can be used when it communicates with the application.
release_ringRing that the device is associated with (for example Insider Fast, Insider Slow, Production). Allows Microsoft to identify on which release ring an issue may be occurring so that it can correctly be prioritized.

Required diagnostic data

Required diagnostic data is the minimum data necessary to help keep Microsoft Defender ATP secure, up-to-date, and perform as expected on the device it’s installed on.

Required diagnostic data helps to identify problems with Microsoft Defender ATP that may be related to a device or software configuration. For example, it can help determine if a Microsoft Defender ATP feature crashes more frequently on a particular operating system version, with newly introduced features, or when certain Microsoft Defender ATP features are disabled. Required diagnostic data helps Microsoft detect, diagnose, and fix these problems more quickly so the impact to users or organizations is reduced.
