Reverting Your Apple Silicon-Based Mac’s “Startup Security Policy” to Its Default State

Since MacOS 11, running Airfoil, Audio Hijack, Loopback, Piezo, or SoundSource on an Apple Silicon-based Mac has required adjusting the Startup Security Policy to be changed from the default Full Security setting to Reduced Security.

With updates we released in 2024, this adjustment is no longer required on the latest versions of MacOS. While the Reduced Security setting is still extraordinarily secure, you can revert your Mac to its default Full Security state if you wish.

The following products have updates which enable you to make this adjustment. Make sure you have the latest version, then click your product below for more details.
