Secure software requires a foundation of security built into hardware. That’s why Apple devices—running iOS, iPadOS, macOS, tvOS, or watchOS—have security capabilities designed into silicon.

Building on the unique capabilities of Apple hardware, system security is designed to maximize the security of the operating systems on Apple devices without compromising usability. System security encompasses the startup process, software updates, and the ongoing operation of the operating system.

Apple provides layers of protection designed to ensure that apps are free of known malware and haven’t been tampered with. Other protections help ensure that access from apps to user data is carefully mediated.

Apple has built a robust set of services to help users get even more utility and productivity out of their devices. These services include Apple ID , iCloud, Sign in with Apple , Apple Pay , iMessage, FaceTime, and Find My .
