Read moreJAMF warns: Many Apple-using businesses still aren’t secure
Your enterprise security does not live in isolation — the threat environment extends across all your colleagues, partners, and friends.
That’s why it’s very concerning that so many businesses continue to fail to meet basic security hygiene standards, according to the latest Security 360 report from Jamf.
Data is gold, which attackers recognize — even many in business don’t. Every stolen address, email, phone number, name, or even passport number is an ID attack waiting to happen, a path to enable a more complex phishing scam, or just an opportunity to call someone up and claim the target has a problem with their computer that they can help them with.
Apple to introduce new feature that makes life harder for iPhone thieves
Apple has plans to make it harder for iPhone thieves to steal your personal information even if they have your device’s passcode.
Read moreWhat is Stolen Device Protection for iPhone and how does it work?
Take that, iPhone thieves — Apple is about to make it even more difficult to use its smartphones when you have no right to do so. In the upcoming iOS 17.3, it is testing out a new security system called “Stolen Device Protection.”
Here’s a look at what this is, and what it does.
Stolen Device Protection explained
Apple’s beta notes explain: “Stolen Device Protection adds an additional layer of security in the unlikely case that someone has stolen your iPhone and also obtained your passcode.”
The company explains the features this way:
- Accessing your saved passwords requires Face/Touch ID to be sure it’s you.
- Changing sensitive settings like your Apple ID password is protected by a security delay.
- No delay is required when iPhone is at familiar locations such as home and work.
The idea is that Stolen Device Protection introduces another obstacle that makes it difficult for thieves to gain access to your data, erase it, or delete the device to factory fresh status for resale.
How Fake Lockdown Mode can fool you into a sense of security
In yet another illustration of just how devious criminals have become in their attempts to undermine security, Jamf Threat Labs has identified a potential tampering technique that puts a device into Fake Lockdown Mode.
As most people know, Lockdown Mode is an extreme protection feature for iPhone designed to protect the kind of high-value targets some of the nastiestsurveillance and state-sponsored attackers aim for.
