Cause
According to Technical Note TN2459 from Apple, 'macOS High Sierra 10.13 introduces a new feature that requires user approval before loading newly-installed third-party kernel extensions (KEXTs).' Additionally, Technical Note TN2459 from Apple indicates, '[t]his feature enforces that only kernel extensions approved by the user will be loaded on a system.'
When a request is made to load a KEXT that the user has not yet approved, the load request is denied and macOS presents the alert with a System Extension Blocked message.
Resolution

- From your Mac endpoint, launch System Preferences
- Open the Security & Privacy preferences and then select General
- Click the lock icon on the bottom left of the window to make changes and modify preferences
- When prompted, enter your Mac User Name and Password and then Unlock the preferences
