Monterey - Disable Screen Sharing and Apple Remote Desktop

Information

Support for both Screen Sharing and Apple Remote Desktop (ARD) is non-essential and _MUST_ be disabled.

The information system _MUST_ be configured to provide only essential capabilities. Disabling screen sharing and ARD helps prevent the unauthorized connection of devices, the unauthorized transfer of information, and unauthorized tunneling.

Solution

[source,bash]
----
/bin/launchctl disable system/com.apple.screensharing
----
NOTE - This will apply to the whole system
