So, you’re running a business on Macs. Smart move—sleek, powerful, and they don’t scream for IT help every five minutes. But if you think that shiny Apple logo makes you immune to cyber threats, think again. Macs can (and do) get viruses, and businesses like yours are prime targets.
The Myth of Mac Security
Back in the day, Macs were relatively safer. Not because they were invincible, but because hackers were too busy messing with Windows machines.
But now? Macs are everywhere—including businesses that handle valuable customer data, financials, and proprietary secrets. And guess what?
Hackers have noticed.
Malware targeting macOS has skyrocketed. Take the Silver Sparrow malware, which silently infected thousands of Macs before Apple even noticed. If cybercriminals are going after individuals, imagine how juicy a business like yours looks.
How to Keep Your Business Macs Safe
If I could sum this up to the 3 most essential bullet points…
- Update, update, update. Apple’s security patches are your best friend. Install them.
- Don’t trust every download. This is a BIG one. That “free” business tool or attachment from an unknown sender? Could be malware in disguise. Stick to trusted sources.
- Enable Mac’s built-in security features. FileVault, Gatekeeper, and a properly configured firewall can add layers of defense. Use them.
Bottom Line
Your Macs are powerful, but they’re not invincible. Thinking otherwise is like leaving your office unlocked because “it’s in a nice neighborhood.” Hackers are looking for easy targets—don’t be one of them.
The scary part… most IT providers only focus on Windows computers. We focus on both platforms and know how to not only lock them down but protect them even when lost or stolen.
