A Tips on “How to harden your Macbook Pro Security?”

Hope you will learn something useful out of this short video 🙂

Have a wonderful Weekend to you all..

By the way, if you can’t watch above video. No problem.. Follow the following steps and I am sure you will get it. By the way, you can write to me anytime 🙂

Step 1: Open Spotlight

You can do this either two ways.

One is, you can directly press on the Magnify Icon at your extreme Right corner.   Click on it.

Or

Press (CMD+SPACEBAR) on your keyboard.

Step 2: Type Security & Privacy and Click enter. 

Step 3: Click on the Yellow Lock Key and it will ask you to type password. Type your login password.

Step 4: First goto Privacy. There is option to enable your Location. 

There is a pro and con. You choose whichever suites you. 

Pro:

If you enable if, there is high probable that you might get a chance to track your system if you misplaced it. (I have never tried it. Read it on few tech blogs)

Con:

With use of certain app, people can trace your location. So, it’s your call! 🙂

Step 5: Goto Firewall Section.

Enable The firewall. (Turn it on)

Goto Firewall Options:

Choose block all incoming connections. That way, every application will ask your permission if it is trying to connect to a remote server. For example, utorrent app etc.

Step 6: Last but not the least, enable your File Vault. 

Pro: 

By turning it on, if you misplaced your computer, nobody can touch your sensitive files or documents.

Con:

System will take a little bit longer to open when you switch on the system.

That’s all for today. If you have any questions, please feel free to write in the comment box below 🙂

Have a great weekend!!
