Sandboxing blocks malicious code on Mac OS X Yosemite

The App Sandbox in OS X helps ensure that apps do only what they’re intended to do. App sandboxing isolates apps from the critical system components of your Mac, your data, and your other apps. Even if an app is compromised by malicious software, sandboxing automatically blocks it to keep your computer and your information safe. OS X delivers sandboxing protection in Safari by sandboxing the built-in PDF viewer and plug-ins such as Adobe Flash Player, Silverlight, QuickTime, and Oracle Java. And OS X sandboxes apps like the Mac App Store, Messages, Calendar, Contacts, Dictionary, Font Book, Photo Booth, Quick Look Previews, Notes, Reminders, Game Center, Mail, and FaceTime.

Runtime protections defend at the core.

The technically sophisticated runtime protections in OS X work at the very core of your Mac to help keep your system safe. Built right into the processor, the XD (execute disable) feature creates a strong wall between memory used for data and memory used for executable instructions. This protects against malware that attempts to trick the Mac into treating data the same way it treats a program in order to compromise your system. Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) changes the memory locations where different parts of an app are stored. This makes it difficult for an attacker to do harm by finding and reordering parts of an app to make it do something it wasn’t intended to do. OS X brings ASLR to the memory used by the kernel at the heart of the operating system, so the same defenses work at every level in your Mac.

More ways to keep your Mac safe.

While no system can be 100 percent immune from every threat, OS X lets you do even more to keep your information as safe as possible. You’ll find most of these additional security features in the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences. Here are just a few of the things you can do:

• Turn on a firewall to prevent other machines from accessing services running on your Mac.
• Control access to your Mac by locking your screen after a period of inactivity.
• Set up secure file sharing.

• Securely delete outdated sensitive files with the Secure Empty Trash command.
• Use Password Assistant to create stronger passwords for local utilities like Users & Groups.
• Make sure you’re only running sharing services that you really need.

You can also initiate a text message conversation on your Mac by clicking a phone number in Safari, Contacts, or Calendar.

Who says you can’t focus ontwo things at once?



Running lots of apps at the same time is one of the great things about using a Mac. Focusing on just one app in full-screen view is another. With Split View, you get the best of both. It automatically fills your screen with the two apps you choose.So you can make dinner plans with a friend in Messages while finding the restaurant in Maps. Or work on a document in Pageswhile doing your research in Safari. All without the distraction of your other open apps, and without having to manually resize and drag windows around. And your desktop is always just a swipe away, so it’s easy to get back to everything else you were doing.

With a single swipe, all the windows on your desktop arrange themselves in a single layer, with nothing stacked or hidden. Mission Control places your windows in the same relative location, so you can spot the one you’re looking for more quickly. And when you have lots of windows competing for real estate, it’s now even simpler to make more room for them. Just drag any window to the top of your screen, and drop it into a new desktop space. It’s never been this easy to spread out your work.
