Case Study - Apple

Case study, Apple company


I have chosen for my case study Apple company, more precisely security on Apple devices.
 According to Apple, the company is using hardware security, antivirus software is building into hardware. It has security competences designed into silicon. This kind of security is found in any Apple products which running iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, and tvOS (Apple Support, 2020).

The most critical component is the Secure Enclave, which is built into modern devices. Secure Enclave is a type of cryptography. The enclave provides a foundation for encrypting data, secure boot in macOS and biometrics.

About Secure Enclave:


Secure Enclave is a hardware-based key manager isolated from the main processor that provides an extra layer of security.
If the devices have been compromised, the Secure Enclave maintains the integrity of its cryptographic operations.
