The best way for users to keep their data secure is by running the latest macOS software, of which they won’t miss out on through notifications or automatic updates (whichever is preferred). 

MacOS includes its own built-in antivirus, XProtect is an antivirus that prevents the execution of malware and repairs systems with found malware. XProtect provides a foundational layer of security to the macOS, so keeping it up to date is key to protecting yourself. MacOS also comes with stealth mode, a toggleable option to make it harder for hackers and malware to locate your Mac.

Another layer to Apple’s strategy of keeping you safe is through secure hardware architecture known as Secure Enclave. Secure Enclave is a subsystem integrated into Apple chips, and is responsible for storing your sensitive data, even when the Application Processor is exposed. The Secure Enclave uses encryption and authentication technology to keep critical data protected.

It is important to remember that although Apple excels at keeping your data protected, you should always take steps yourself to ensure the best possible protection. Keeping hard-to-guess passwords which are changed frequently, keeping your system up to date with the latest software, staying away from risky sites and logging out when not using your Macbook will help to protect your data and let you enjoy gaming safely.
