Kernel extension changes in macOS High Sierra in Zoom
The Authorization Approved Kernel Extension Loading feature has been disabled in macOS 10.13.4, and extensions that previously have been allowed to load as a result of enrolling in MDM now need to be approved to load. It is possible, however, to use MDM to specify kernel extensions that are not required to be approved in order to load. It is required that your Mac has macOS 10.13.2 or later installed on it and that you are either enrolling in MDM via DEP, or that you are enrolled in MDM via User Approved, and that your Mac is using DEP.
