In a few days Apple will release their latest iteration of the Mac OS X. The latest version, Leopard, will have some changes to the way Mac users do things. There are some great apps that have been added in like Time Machine.
Here is a summary of the security features such as Time Machine in the new Apple OS X.
From TidBITS.com:
With the release last week of the feature list for Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, the security world is buzzing about some extremely important updates that should, if they work as expected, significantly improve Mac security and will make me less nervous about connecting to wireless networks in Internet cafes.
Time Machine — Before we dig into Leopard’s advanced anti-exploitation technologies, we need to start with the biggest security feature that’s not listed with the rest: Time Machine. Information security is based on the principles of CIA. No, not the Central Intelligence Agency or the Culinary Institute of America. In the security world, CIA stands for Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability. While we tend to focus on keeping people from seeing things we don’t want them to see (confidentiality) and changing things we don’t want changed (integrity), having our data and systems available to us is just as important.
A very nice run down of the upcoming features for the release available this Friday.
