Apple is constantly updating and improving the security of its software. In macOS Sequoia, there will be a small change that will make it more difficult to run programs that do not meet security standards, 9to5Mac reports.

Because the Mac doesn’t have the same closed app distribution system as iOS and iPadOS, Apple has created other tools designed to protect users. Some of these tools include app signing.

This allows Apple to scan macOS apps even if they don’t make it to the Mac App Store. The goal is to prevent Mac users from unintentionally opening malware.

If you try to open a program that is not properly signed, you will see a warning about a possible danger. But until now, experienced users have been able to bypass these warnings by pressing the Control key. But in macOS Sequoia, that won’t work anymore.

“In macOS Sequoia, users will no longer be able to Control-click to override Gatekeeper when opening software that isn’t signed correctly or notarized. They’ll need to visit System Settings > Privacy & Security to review security information for software before allowing it to run,” Apple writes.

Apple also encourages developers to make sure that their software is properly signed so that users do not have to face any inconvenience when using their programs.
