Secure software requires a foundation of security built into hardware. That’s why Apple devices—running iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, or tvOS—have security capabilities designed into silicon. These include custom CPU capabilities that power system security features and silicon dedicated to security functions. The most critical component is the Secure Enclave coprocessor, which appears on all modern iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, and tvOS devices, and all Mac computers with the Apple T2 Security Chip.
