Dear all,

Let me, please inform you that we have released ESET Endpoint Antivirus/Security 6.9.

The main feature of this version is the long-awaited support for ESET Enterprise Inspector 1.4, which is now capable of detecting anomalies on a Mac endpoint. 

Another focus of version 6.9 is solving issues reported by customers, which were supposed to be fixed initially within version 6.8, especially fixing pop-ups of firewall due to AirDrop communication, the high load of esets_proxy process, or blocked localhost communication. 

With the release of 6.9, we've decided to drop the support of very old versions of macOS. Newly supported OSs are:

• 10.12 Sierra
• 10.13 High Sierra
• 10.14 Mojave
• 10.15 Catalina
