Santa is a binary and file access authorization system for macOS. It consists of a system extension that monitors for executions, a daemon that makes execution decisions based on the contents of a local database, a GUI agent that notifies the user in case of a block decision, and a command-line utility for managing the system and synchronizing the database with a server. It is named Santa because it keeps track of binaries that are naughty or nice. Docs: The Santa docs are stored in the Docs directory and are published at https://santa.dev. The docs include deployment options, details on how parts of Santa work, and instructions for developing Santa itself.
