Aside from a few hiccups here and there, Apple has a really strong track record when it comes to protecting user data, but its up to the user to take security to the next level. This may sound like something that’s outside of the reach of the average users, but by following ZDNet’s four-step process, you can make your iPhone infinitely more secure in just sixty seconds.
If the feds ever come looking for your iPhone or iPad data, they won’t go knocking on Apple’s door. They’ll be coming straight to you. Since the introduction of iOS 8 almost a year ago, Apple has included a new device encryption feature, aimed at securing device data from hackers, thieves, and government agencies, while at the same time removing itself from the equation. After the company was (wrongly) accused of cooperating with the US government’s PRISM surveillance program, Apple wanted to ensure that it couldn’t be forced to hand over data stored on its customers’ devices. In doing so, it gave its customers the encryption keys to their device’s data. How? A simple lock-screen passcode. The reality is that most iPhones and iPads, running the latest iOS 8 software, are probably already protected. But reports show that about one-third of all smartphone owners have never set a four-digit passcode to lock their phones.
