We utilise Brew for package manager for our Mac in our organisation and we have over 100+ engineers using it to manage their operating environment. Cortex doesnt pick up any of the applications installed via brew or any of the vulnerabilities associated with them and only detects anything once its in a running state.
This seems like a very basic omission in the XDR client for Mac on a few points:
- it should detect any use of a new TAP (third party repo) that is a signal for potential malicious source
- it should detect the apps/libraries installed via Brew and scan them for vulnerabilities
Does anyone have any thoughts on this?
