How To Make Your Mac More Secure
My first Youtube video I would like to share to you is from, “Apple Made Easy.”
This video is about on how to make your Mac more secure by adding passwords when you login, requiring passwords for purchases in Mac App Store and iTunes Store, making use of Safari more securely and more private.
She also taught on how to enable downloads from Mac App Store, and enabling your Firewall, which is essential. But, what I would like to add is blocking all incoming connections by:
- Open System Preferences.
- Click on the Security & Privacy icon->Firewall.
- Click on the padlock icon and enter your administrator username and password.
- Click on the Firewall Options.
- Check Block all incoming connections.
- Click "Ok."
- Then, click the padlock icon to lock.
The reason I mentioned this is for making your Mac more secure from hackers by enabling this option.
Note: Some sharing features will be blocked like File Sharing, Screen Sharing, etc. You have to uncheck this if you are going to use those features.
