Hardware security
Secure software requires a foundation of security built into hardware. That’s why Apple devices—with iOS, iPadOS, macOS, tvOS, watchOS, or visionOS—have security capabilities designed into silicon.

System security
Building on the unique capabilities of Apple hardware, system security is designed to maximize the security of the operating systems on Apple devices without compromising usability. System security encompasses the startup process, software updates, and the ongoing operation of the operating system.



Services security
Apple has built a robust set of services to help users get even more utility and productivity out of their devices. These services include Apple Account, iCloud, Sign in with Apple, Apple Pay, iMessage, FaceTime, and Find My.
