Modern Management Summit 2026

macOS has a reputation for being secure out of the box, but don’t believe everything you hear. That’s only part of the story! In this session, we peel back the polished surface of macOS to expose the hidden risks lurking behind default settings, vague permissions, and half-baked configurations.

I’ll walk you through what your Mac isn't telling you and what attackers are quietly hoping you ignore. We'll deep dive into hardening techniques using Microsoft Intune, demystify Apple's native controls, and build a macOS security baseline that doesn’t just look good on paper!

This isn’t just another how-to. This session is about asking the tough questions, challenging assumptions and taking full control of your macOS fleet.
