In this guide, we are installing Google Drive for Desktop, CIT's recommended cloud storage solution for the campus, which uses a kernel extension. Please note that this only applies for new software installs if you upgraded to Big Sur from a previous version of macOS, any pre-approved kernel extensions will continue to function without requiring this manual approval. This article outlines that approval process. With macOS Big Sur, however, you will need to manually approve the kernel extension in order for some software to function correctly. In previous versions of macOS, CIT had the ability to "whitelist" these kernel extensions in order to simplify the software installation for you. A few popular software options used on campus use what are called kernel extensions in order to function.
