Re: End Point Security on Workstations own by Application Developers

["Davis, Ken" <kend () IT UCLA EDU>]

Perhaps do your code development using a VM running under VMWare Fusion or the like so that it's not running directly 
on the workstation where your AV tools are running?
Install the development applications in the VM machine used for development and NAT that out so that it can connect to 
your VSS or GitHub for development purposes, but nothing else.

Just an idea.

Colleagues

At the Getty,  developers develop applications locally on their Mac workstations. Application development activity has 
increased over the past couple of years and a lot of new developers have joined the IT department. We have recently 
learned that our AV tools ( McAfee and Cylance) are impacting developer productivity because developers may run 
downloaded software or use uncommon ports that are then blocked by the AV tools.  We eventually resolve the issues but 
developers want us to investigate different methods of providing end point protection for their local development 
workstations.   We want to develop a strategy for protecting developer workstations before developers get so frustrated 
they start disabling AV on their workstations.  Suggestions on possible approaches would be appreciated. Thanks
