Security

Secure device management overview

iOS, iPadOS, macOS and tvOS support flexible security policies and configurations that are easy to enforce and manage. Through them, organisations can protect corporate information and ensure that employees meet enterprise requirements, even if they are using devices they’ve provided themselves — for example, as part of a “bring your own device” (BYOD) programme.

Organisations can use resources such as password protection, configuration profiles, remote wipe and third-party mobile device management (MDM) solutions to manage fleets of devices and help keep corporate data secure even when employees access this data on their personal devices.

With iOS 13, iPadOS 13.1 and macOS 10.15, Apple devices support a new user enrolment option specifically designed for BYOD programmes. User enrolments provide more autonomy for users on their own devices, while increasing the security of enterprise data by storing it on a separate, cryptographically protected APFS volume. This provides a better balance of security, privacy and user experience for BYOD programmes.
