# Deploy Elastic Defend on macOS with mobile device management
To silently install and deploy Elastic Defend, you need to configure a mobile device management (MDM) profile for Elastic Endpoint—the installed component that performs Elastic Defend's threat monitoring and prevention. This allows you to pre-approve the Elastic Endpoint system extension and grant Full Disk Access to all the necessary components.
This page explains how to deploy Elastic Defend silently using Jamf.

## Configure a Jamf MDM profile

In Jamf, create a configuration profile for Elastic Endpoint. Follow these steps to configure the profile:
1. [Approve the system extension.](#system-extension-jamf)
2. [Approve network content filtering.](#content-filtering-jamf)
3. [Enable notifications.](#notifications-jamf)
4. [Enable Full Disk Access.](#fda-jamf)


### Approve the system extension

1. Select the **System Extensions** option to configure the system extension policy for the Elastic Endpoint configuration profile.
2. Make sure that **Allow users to approve system extensions** is selected.
3. In the **Allowed Team IDs and System Extensions** section, add the Elastic Endpoint system extension:
   1. (Optional) Enter a **Display Name** for the Elastic Endpoint system extension.
2. From the **System Extension Types** dropdown, select **Allowed System Extensions**.
3. Under **Team Identifier**, enter `2BT3HPN62Z`.
4. Under **Allowed System Extensions**, enter `co.elastic.systemextension`.
4. Save the configuration.

After you complete these steps, generate the mobile configuration profile and install it onto the macOS machines. Once the profile is installed, Elastic Defend can be deployed without the need for user interaction.
