Do this only one time on every macOS endpoint. If you already approved it, there is no need to repeat it when the SentinelOne App is updated. If you do not complete this prerequisite step, your mac will not be fully protected.

**Occasionally after an OS update or upgrade you may be required to complete this step again**
To approve Network Extension:
  1. If you see the System Extension Blocked message, click Open Security Preferences.

    Note: If you click OK, the window closes. To approve the SentinelOne Network Extension later, open System Preferences > Security & privacy > Security.

  2. At System software from application "SentinelOne Extensions" was blocked from loading, click Allow.

  3. In the window that opens, click Allow.
