Apple has released macOS Sequoia, the latest version of its operating system (OS) for Mac computers.
macOS Sequoia introduces a range of new capabilities, including a dedicated password management app, enhanced video-conferencing tools, and significant updates to Safari. Visit the Apple website for a comprehensive overview of all the new and exciting updates in this macOS version.
If you use your Mac to access UCT systems and services or connect to the UCT network, please do not install Sequoia on Macs that are UCT-owned or personally-owned.
ICTS is currently testing the compatibility of macOS Sequoia with our business systems, so we cannot guarantee that they will work correctly with the new operating system.
We will inform you once the testing is completed. In the meantime, view our test matrix to see how the testing is progressing.
