In today's digital age, ensuring the security of your personal and professional data is paramount. For macOS users, there are several built-in tools and best practices that can significantly enhance your digital security. This article will guide you through essential steps and configurations to protect your Mac from potential threats. Given that "Segurança+Digital" translates to "Digital Security," we will focus on practical measures and examples specifically tailored for the macOS environment.

    • Click on Apple ID.
    • Select Password & Security.
    • Click "Turn On Two-Factor Authentication."
  6. Use Secure Shell (SSH) for Remote Access: If you need to access your Mac remotely, use SSH to ensure a secure connection.
