Security & Privacy

Apple has released a new version of its Leopard Security Configuration Guide (available here), a 260-page document discussing ways that users can customize security, or “harden” their computers. There are two versions of this document, one for Leopard client, and another for Leopard Server. In addition, users will find similar documents for Tiger and Panther on the same download page. While most users won’t want to apply many of the security techniques presented in this document, it’s a good reference showing the many areas where security can be enhanced in Mac OS X.
