Hello- Let me start by saying that I am unfamiliar with VMs. We are a 1:1 Apple School. One of our HS student’s is taking a cybersecurity class online and has requested I install Virtual Box on their MacBook, along with Ubuntu. What sort of security, privacy issues am I looking at here? We have JAMF Safe installed on all our computers. Will they be able to skirt our filters?

First let me advise you to use the built in UTM framework for this.  If your concern is about privacy and filters and such, then your answer is yes. You’ll want to treat the VM as a separate asset - by locking it down individually. 


Thanks for the info.

I’ll have to explore UTM.
