Internet services
Overview
Internet services from Apple have been built with the same security goals that iOS promotes
throughout the platform–secure handling of data, whether at rest on the iOS device or in transit
over wireless networks, protection of users’ personal information, and threat protection against
malicious or unauthorized access to information and services. Each service uses its own powerful
security architecture without compromising the overall ease of use of iOS.
These services help users communicate and create and backup their personal data, all without
compromising your organization’s data.
They include:
•
Apple ID
•
Find My iPhone and Activation Lock
•
Continuity
•
iCloud
•
iCloud Keychain
•
iMessage
•
FaceTime
•
Siri
•
Apple ID for Students
You can use an MDM solution and iOS restrictions to restrict particular services. For information,
see the MDM restrictions Overview.
At Apple, security and privacy are fundamental to the design of all our hardware, software, as
well as our services. That’s why we respect our customers’ privacy and protect it with strong
encryption, plus strict policies that govern how all data is handled. For more information, see
www.apple.com/privacy.
Apple ID
An Apple ID is required for anyone who wants to access services from Apple. You need to
understand Apple IDs, so you can educate your users about how to set up their own.
An Apple ID is an identity that’s used to log in to various Apple services such as FaceTime,
iMessage, the iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, and iCloud. These services give users
access to a wide range of content to streamline business tasks, increase productivity, and
support collaboration.
