How to Enhance Security on Your Apple Devices

Security is a critical aspect of managing any computing environment, and Apple devices are no exception. While the original topic "Ferramentas de Segurança" (Security Tools) is broad and can encompass various platforms, this article will focus on security tools and best practices specifically tailored for Apple environments, including macOS and iOS. Ensuring the security of your Apple devices is essential to protect sensitive data, maintain privacy, and prevent unauthorized access.

Apple provides a robust set of built-in security features, but there are also third-party tools that can further enhance your device's security. This article will cover both built-in tools and third-party applications, providing practical examples and commands where applicable.
