Today we passed a milestone: more PRs merged into Santa at North Pole Security than in ten years at Google.
Huge respect for Santa's decade @Google, but it's been amazing to watch this team move.

🎅 Santa v2026.7 is here.
We strongly recommend updating, It patches several policy-enforcement security issues and hardens tamper resistance, uncovered through frontier-AI-assisted review of Santa's code. Advisories + release notes:

Santa & Workshop 2026.6 are live. Our biggest release yet. App-level firewalling on the endpoint. Standing admin swapped for audited, on-demand elevation. Detections evaluated right on the host.

"Macs don't get viruses" didn't age well.
Workshop stops threats before they run — built on Santa, the binary auth tool Google used to protect 100k+ Macs.
Prevention beats cleanup.

Santa 2026.4 is out. 🎅
This release makes Santa harder to tamper with — hardened filesystem monitoring, daemon signal handling, Endpoint Security validation, and upgrade path.
Also: clean syncs now replace settings + rules, and you can silence repeat "blocked removable media" alerts per-device.
Heads up — SyncBaseURL now requires HTTPS unless it's a loopback address.

AI just helped researchers chain 2 bugs into a macOS privilege escalation in 5 days.
Discovery is getting faster. Defenders need to know what's actually running on their Macs.
Santa solves that.

Agentic CLIs running with --dangerously-skip-permissions shouldn't have free reign over your home directory. Next Workshop release ships santactl seatbelt (sb) — force a process under a sandbox policy, conditionally via CEL. Quick demo: ksh blocked from reading user SSH keys. #macadmins
