Protecting your personal information has never been more crucial, and your phone number is particularly vulnerable to scammers, especially online. Here’s how to keep it from falling into the wrong hands.

Apple’s upcoming operating systems, macOS Sonoma, iOS 17, iPadOS 17, watchOS 10, and tvOS 17, are packed with new features and improvements that are designed to make businesses more productive, secure, and efficient than ever when using Apple devices.

We selected some of the improvements we believe will have the greatest impact on the productivity, deployment, management, and security of Apple devices used at work.

Safeguarding your personal information online has become a paramount concern, but there’s no need to panic because there are effective ways to remove your personal information from the internet.

It’s a beautiful Fall Friday afternoon and the IT team is ready to end another week of work with a happy hour at a new brewery across the street from the office. The week was great. Some small challenges occurred, but this team could handle everything – no critical task will be carried over into the following week.

But at 4:32 p.m. a call from the company’s CFO changes everything. 

Spam calls are a total waste of time, and they’re also a violation of your privacy. Personal data removal service Incogni can make the harassment stop.

In 2023, security is a top priority for every organization, including businesses using Macs. While very secure, Macs are still vulnerable to threats, including phishing attacks and malware. Security is no longer a technology concern. It’s now a business concern. Most of the security discussion on macOS revolves around software updates, endpoint security software, and other high-level topics.

What doesn’t get brought up enough is user privileges. Every CISO or even the CEO should ask their IT teams if employees are running as local administrators on their Macs. If they are, they should ask the team if it’s necessary compared to the critical risks elevated privileges can create. 

Here’s the bottom line: There’s no need for Mac users to have administrative powers 24/7. 

Apple and Google might not always see eye to eye on everything, but customers love using them together. For companies of every size and in all markets, Google Workspace and Apple devices are the base of their technology stack. 

While the iPhone and the Mac are the undisputable preference among employees when they’re given the chance to decide which devices to use, Google’s business software solutions revolutionized how companies and their employees work and collaborate.

However, to enjoy the full benefits of Google Workspace on a fleet of Apple devices at work, companies need to bridge the gaps where Google and Apple aren’t tightly integrated. Enter a Google-ready Apple Unified Platform for business. 

Password management has become necessary in our daily lives. From email and banking accounts to social media and online shopping, passwords dictate access. When it comes to work, password management is critical in order to ensure the security and authorized access of internal systems and data.

A Bring Your Own Device work environment is exactly what it sounds like – you use your iPhone, iPad, or MacBook to also tackle whatever work responsibilities you may have. Whether it’s answering emails, keeping up with your team over messaging, or leveraging work-specific apps, with BYOD you aren’t restricted to performing work tasks only at the office or through your work device.

BLUETTI is offering a special limited-time deal on two AC300 + B300 home battery backup bundles. But don’t wait! This fantastic sale on incredible battery power ends on March 30.

The 3rd Eye is a marketing firm in the bustling Miami metro with a gigantic portfolio and an incredible talent base with seemingly limitless possibilities. However, they had an enormous problem. They had an Apple IT ecosystem that was scattered, disorderly, and tripping up their business. They needed help but didn’t know where to turn.

Regardless of the size of your business, you’ll be leveraging some form of technology in every aspect of your daily work life. No matter the industry, you and your team will be utilizing mobile phones, tablets, laptops, and more. If you’ve chosen Apple devices for your workforce, you’re already ahead of the curve. iPhones, iPads, and Macs are considered the most reliable, secure, and easy-to-use devices on the market.

But now that you’ve got your Apple devices in place at your business, there’s the matter of managing them daily. You’ll want to make sure the devices are up to date, secure, and have all the apps your team needs at a moment’s notice. 

After a lot of planning, pitching, long nights, working weekends, and all the grinding required to get a business idea off the ground, you’ve finally gotten to the point where now you’re thinking more about hiring new employees, growth opportunities, and expansion strategies, rather than surviving month-to-month.  

Congratulations! You’ve already accomplished far more than the great majority of those who try to start a new business. Now, the question is: what’s next?

In today’s ever-evolving digital landscape, IT admins must keep up with the latest technologies and ensure devices are always secure and up to date. Remote work has only accelerated the challenges of a rapidly increasing digital transformation. The number of work devices in organizations continues to grow as well. 

Apple has been the preferred mobile device choice of end-users for many years. And thanks to an impressive evolution of Apple-specific IT solutions, Apple devices are quickly becoming the most popular and preferred choice for IT administrators.

One could make the argument that the most dangerous place to be is on the internet. People face more security threats per day by accessing emails and browsing the internet than doing anything else. 

Phishing emails, malware, scams, identity theft, and tracking are just some to the risks that we all face on a daily basis, and all of them come from the same place: the internet.

Macs are on pace to become the top endpoint in the enterprise in the coming years. If you entered the workforce in the last 5-6 years, there’s a good chance you were given a Mac on your first day and you likely don’t remember a world where the only Macs that an organization generally had was in the graphic design department. 

These users were on an island by themselves – often having to become their own IT department to troubleshoot issues. The IT department didn’t manage software updates or system settings. They’d buy the Mac, give it to the employee and probably would never see the device again.
