I want to install Bias FX 2 VST Audio Plugin in Garage Band 10.3.2. I get this dialog asking for "Lower Security Settings".
It’s safe to proceed in this case? What exactly happens with this "Lower Security Settings"? Should I worry for security issues?

Yes, you may simply change Gatekeeper settings to "Anywhere" or "App Store and identified developers", install Bias FX and then change setting back to "App Store". It does not affect Bias work and you'll still be safe.
Bias is great guitar plugin, btw!
it's safe, shortly, it just allows you to install apps from developers other than Apple.

Thank you. I care about my system safety, so just want to know, what the "Lower Security Settings" does exactly in this case and it’s possible to revert this settings later? I have some previous experience with system attacks, so I am cautious.
Sounds like a potential threat to me, so trying to understand the issue here.
True, Bias FX works great.
Still, I want to know what is behind the "Lower Security Settings". There is no further description of this. Does this affect whole system somehow and how, or it’s just restricted to Garage Band app itself? Bias FX (=Positive Grid) is not signed / trusted / identified developer, so I have to ask such a question. Again, I have some previous experience with apps that distribute malicious malware etc.
