Privacy and Security Changes After Upgrading to Big Sur 11.1

Hi everyone,

After I have upgrade of Mac OS to Big Sur 11.1 , I have noticed on some new features which were added during upgrade to Privacy and Security on MacBook Air

I have attached a screen shot of two of them.

Please, take a look.

Do I need to remove them?

If anyone can explain me what does it mean?

Thank you in advance.


MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.1

Hi there AB_68,


We understand you have some concerns over certain programs requesting permissions in macOS.


We wanted to explain these processes.


First, sshd-keygen-wrapper is part of the sharing preferences in Apple (  ) menu > System Preferences > Sharing.


From there, AEServer is also part of Sharing in order to allow tasks from other Macs to come into your system. If you do not want sharing enabled , you can turn that off from the area listed above.
