The 6th most popular operating process on Mac OS X

The Security Agent is a Mac OS X process that deals with all of the security-related user interface for the Security Server. For example, when the Security Server requires the user to authenticate, the Security Agent opens a dialog requesting a user name and password. The most common cases of the Security Agent making itself known are when you either install software or use Apple's Software Update system to, for example, go from OS X 10.5.7 to 10.5.8.

    Does what it's supposed to, doesn't monopolize your computer like Windows Vista's UAC. Though the concept is really borrowed from Linux, it's a job well done when it comes to making sure that only authorized folks can mess up...erm...do important stuff to your computer.

    I still ponder why this is considered a program it is something you use in the background.

  • michaelowens expert

    This shouldn't show up as a used program. This is an operating system function. On Mac, every time you have to type in the System Admin Username and Password (coming back from screensaver, installing a program, restarting a XAMPP server, etc) this is the background process that makes the little popup appear.
