We recently talked about some of the ways you can ensure that your Macbook Pro remains physically secure. For this blog post, we will dive into some of the other options that are available to you. Whether you follow a combination of some of these guidelines or all of them, it is important that you take the steps necessary to make sure that your valuable Apple laptop is looked after and prepared for in the event that it is ever stolen.

Here are a few more tips for ensuring the security of your Macbook:

  • Activate Keychain: What Keychain allows you to do is make your personal data available on multiple devices if you login with the same Apple ID. This will allow you to remain secure while also transferring files from your Macbook to your iPhone. Simply go into the Settings in your Macbook and choose to create a new password for the Keychain.
  • Add Apple FileVault: The FileVault will allow you to encrypt your hard drive and protect whatever you have stored on it. It can be enabled under Security & Privacy.
  • Set up Find my Mac: One of the best things you can do when you purchase a new Macbook is to immediately set up Find My Mac, which will allow you to track it if it ever goes missing. Just sign into your account at iCloud.com, and turn on the GPS locator. If necessary, you will also be given the option to remotely activate the lock screen on your Macbook or wipe its memory.
