Cloud Agent for MacOS Apple Silicon Release 6.5

June 23, 2026

With this release of Cloud Agent for MacOS Apple Silicon, we provide new features, strategic enhancements, and important bug fixes. These updates empower your teams to prioritize risks and secure your digital environment effectively.

Check Cloud Agent Health

MacOS Apple Silicon Cloud Agent now supports Cloud Agent Health Check Tool. This tool provides a consolidated agent health report in JSON format directly on the Command-Line Interface (CLI). The health check report helps you verify Cloud Agent package authorization and gives clear visibility into agent health.

To learn more about Cloud Agent Health Check Tool, refer MacOS Cloud Agent Installation Guide.

Reattempt Failed Patches

You can now configure the system to reattempt failed patch installations. This feature lets you specify the exact number of retry attempts and the time interval between them to ensure critical updates deploy successfully. The agent will not reattempt patches that fail due to download failures, network issues, hash mismatches, digest mismatches, or misconfigured URLs.

Required Application Version

Patch Management XX.XX

We enhanced MacOS Apple Silicon Cloud Agent to fully comply with stricter Apple Gatekeeper policies. Cloud Agent now automatically sets the required permissions, manages system upgrades, and ensures seamless asset operation.
