Is it a real danger to disable this csrutil program?

SIP (= system integrity protection) is a kernel-level thing, not a program. The csrutil program does not do SIP by itself; it enables or disables SIP in the kernel. To disable SIP, you must boot into recovery mode, type the command ‘csrutil disable’ and then reboot.

My feeling is that SIP is a good thing and I don’t want to turn it off. SIP makes it much harder for malware to install itself on a Mac.
