Security Configuration Guides

Security-focused organizations provide well defined and vetted guidance for how to configure various platforms for accepted use. Security Configuration Guides provide an overview of features in OS X and iOS that can be used to enhance protection, known as "hardening your device". Worldwide governments have collaborated with Apple and developed guides designed to give instructions and recommendations for securing and for maintaining a more secure environment.

To use these guides, you should be an experienced user or system administrator, be familiar with the user interface, and have some working knowledge of management tools for the target platform. It is quite beneficial to be familiar with basic networking concepts. Certain instructions in the guides are complex, and deviation could result in adverse effects or reduced protection. Any changes made to your devices settings should be thoroughly tested before deployment.
