Lock down your Mac if you’re targeted by a cyberattack
You can strictly limit apps, websites, and features if you believe you’re being personally targeted by a highly sophisticated cyberattack.
Lockdown Mode is an optional, extreme protection that’s designed for the very few individuals who, because of who they are or what they do, might be personally targeted by some of the most sophisticated digital threats. Most people are never targeted by attacks of this nature.
