To access the Mac OS X security settings, click the System Preferences icon from the Mac OS X dock at the bottom of your screen. This icon looks like a series of gears, if you removed it from your dock, it can be located in your applications folder in Finder.

Difficulty: Easy

Time Required: 5-10 minutes

Enabling Security Settings

1. Require a Password on Login and for Screensaver Deactivation. These settings require a system password to be entered before use of the system or when returning from the screen saver or waking up from sleep mode.
   1. From the General tab, choose the following options:
      1. Check the box for Require Password after Sleep or Screen Saver Begins and choose Immediately from the drop-down menu.
2. Check the box for Disable Automatic Login.
3. Check the box for Use Secure Virtual Memory.
4. Enable FileVault Data Encryption. FileVault secures and encrypts the contents of the home folder so that no one other than the owner can access the data, even if the hard drive is removed and connected to another Mac or PC. Keep in mind that, if you forget or lose your password, there is no way to recover your data--even if you back it up--as that information is encrypted with your specific password or pass-key. If any software issues arise that result in data loss, you may also not be able to get that information back for the same reason. While this is the most efficient way to secure your data, it is not necessary for everyone, so weigh your options before enabling FileVault.
   1. From the FileVault tab, choose the following:
      1. Create a Master Password by clicking on the Set Master Password button under the FileVault menu tab.

1. Enter the password you would like to use as your Master Password in the Master Password box and verify it in the Verify box.
2. Add a password hint in the Hint box.
3. Click the Turn File Vault On button.
4. Turn On the Mac OS X Firewall. The OS X firewall can selectively block inbound and outbound connections and allows the user to choose which connections are permitted or denied. The user can approve or deny connections on a temporary or permanent basis.

      1. Click the Start button to turn the Firewall on.
