How can I do a security check on my MacBook Pro running Ventura?

Hi ACA2755,

macOS has many features that help protect your Mac and your personal information from malicious software, or malware. One common way malware is distributed is by embedding it in a harmless-looking app.

You can reduce this risk by using software only from reliable sources. Privacy & Security settings allow you to specify the sources of software installed on your Mac.
