If you allow the updates to be installed, you can also prevent users from removing the installed updates. Alternatively, you can disable Rapid Security Responses so that updates are not automatically installed.

JumpCloud provides two policies to configure Rapid Security Response:

• Mac Rapid Security Response – For macOS devices running macOS 13 Ventura and later.
