VM_Configuration_Security

Option

Description

Encrypt with password

Use this setting to specify, change or turn off the password your virtual machine is encrypted with.

Isolate Windows from Mac

Select this option to isolate the virtual machine from macOS, so that they no longer share folders and profiles, connected external devices are no longer automatically accessible by the guest OS, the virtual machine and Mac no longer synchronize volume, and you can no longer copy or move objects between the virtual machine and macOS. Isolating your virtual machine from macOS may provide a higher level of security by not allowing compromised items from one OS to come into contact with the other.
