As a best practice, whenever considering running FortiClient in parallel with other third-party security applications such as Antivirus, EDR, and XDR, it is suggested to configure FortiClient folder/file paths in third-party security application's exclusion list.
This is to prevent any conflict and crashes, performance degradation, false positives and detection, and reduced effectiveness due to overlapping features when they interfere with each other's processes.
Paths to be excluded for MacOS:
/Library/Application Support/Fortinet/FortiClient/bin/fctservctl
/Library/Application Support/Fortinet/FortiClient/bin/epctrl
