Apple Business is aimed at small businesses coalesced around Macs, iPhones, and iPads. If that’s you, and all your systems are made by Apple, the service is likely to be all you need to run a small operation of up to a few dozen seats. But Apple Business isn’t really designed to handle the advanced needs of larger enterprises. And while it can provide a starting point for Mac deployments in mixed-platform environments, it probably shouldn’t be where you end up. It doesn’t handle cross-platform device deployments, for which you’ll need full-strength MDM solutions (such as those from up-and-coming vendor Fleet). Another thing Apple Business doesn’t do is cover the full extent of compliance targets you might need to meet at your company. So, if you need to ensure compliance with standards/benchmarks such as HIPAA, SOC 2, ISO 27001, or CIS, you’ll need to choose something else. This is also true if you need to ensure your endpoints are secured, or you require automated vulnerability scan

Echoing concerns from other security experts, Orange Cyberdefense (OC) recently warned that employees have become the biggest security threat faced by business. Now, in the latest illustration of its ongoing security response, Apple is putting new protections in place in macOS 26.4 that should help – but employee education remains critical as hackers turn to complex, multi-stage, social engineering attacks to infest systems with malware. Your people are your weakness The data tells its own story. OC explains: Employees account for 57% of all security incidents and 45% of these incidents come when workers bypass or ignore security policies by, for example, using unapproved tools. Attackers are actively searching for and exploiting those kinds of policy workarounds, seeking weaknesses in commonly used, but unapproved, tools. Users really should educate themselves. While companies can put some mitigations in place using device management and policy controls to constrain app use and down
AirPods Pro 3 | Photo by Amelia Holowaty Krales / The Verge Apple's rumored AirPods with cameras are nearing a stage where the company will test early mass production, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reports. Currently, Apple testers are "actively using" prototypes that are in the design validation test stage, which is one step before the production validation test stage. The AirPods' cameras "aren't designed" to snap photos or video but instead can take in "visual information in low resolution" that users can query Siri about, like asking the AI assistant what they should cook with the ingredients they have in front of them, according to Gurman. They may also use the cameras to help with things like turn-b … Read the full story at The Verge.
Apple’s Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC) takes place in just a few weeks. Everyone expects the company to explain its approach to AI deployment on its platforms. With that in mind, here’s what several months of speculation suggest Apple will announce, though the details remain to be disclosed. Apple is investing billions of dollars in these plans; R&D spending reached 10.3% of revenue in the second quarter, up from 7.6% in Q1. Given Apple’s accelerating revenue, on a dollar basis this means the company’s R&D spend is up 34% from a year ago. “We believe AI is a really important investment area for Apple, and we’re going to be doing that incrementally on top of what we normally invest in our product roadmap,” said Apple CFO Kevan Parekh during Apple’s latest fiscal call. (AI isn’t Apple’s only spending target, either.) While the billions Apple is investing are dwarfed by the huge infrastructure investments made by pure AI players, Apple’s infrastructure already exists — in the form
