What macOS and Safari versions are required?

Managed Safari coverage requires Safari 26 or later on macOS 26 or later, deployed on supervised Macs using Elba’s signed .pkg installer and Declarative Device Management (DDM).

Which browser features are unavailable on Apple Safari?

Safari 26+ supports SaaS visibility, AI session classification, Automated Prompt Masking, prompt/text-upload blocking, Browser Logs, and enrollment heartbeats. Peer extension inventory, permission-exposure scoring, and bulk-download history lookups are unavailable due to Apple’s Safari Web Extensions sandboxing.

Can employees keep using Safari instead of switching to an enterprise browser?

Yes. Elba secures native Safari 26+ directly on macOS 26+ so Mac-first teams keep their default browser while security teams gain Shadow AI and DLP controls.

Coverage and requirements
  • Requires Safari 26 or later on macOS 26 or later with managed production deployment via signed .pkg and MDM/DDM; iOS and iPadOS Safari are not covered.
  • Because Safari isolates extensions from one another and from download history, peer installed-extension inventory, extension permission-exposure scoring, and bulk-download history lookups are unavailable in Safari.
  • Content inspection covers up to 5 supported text or source-code files per upload (16,000 characters each); binary files expose metadata only.
