Mac has a rich history of security and privacy protection – much of which it has earned – since Apple interweaves these protections into every facet of the hardware and software design process. But no system is infallible and here we discuss three categories of misconceptions regarding macOS security that could lead to a false sense of protection for end users:

2. Built-in security tools are enough
3. Common threats are always stopped

Jamf was on-hand at Black Hat 2022 to meet with customers and discuss the modern security landscape directly with the Security and IT professionals themselves.
