In 2026, attacks targeting macOS have increased significantly, including ransomware, phishing and spyware. Your Mac probably contains family photos, business documents, bank details and irreplaceable memories. Losing this data - whether through theft, hardware failure or attack - can have disastrous consequences.<\/p>\n\n<p>The good news is that macOS includes some of the most robust protection tools on the market. The problem is that most users don't activate them or configure them incorrectly. This step-by-step guide will help you lock down your Mac like a digital safe, without installing any paid software.<\/p>\n\n<h2 id=\"filevault\">FileVault: encrypt your entire disk<\/h2>\n\n<p>FileVault is the first line of defence for protecting your Mac data. This macOS-integrated encryption system turns your entire disk into an unreadable volume without your session password or recovery key. In practical terms, if someone steals your MacBook, they won't be able to read anything on the disk, even if they physically remove it from the machine.<\/p>\n\n<h3>How to activate FileVault<\/h3>\n\n<ol>\n<li>Open <strong>System settings<\/strong> (or System Preferences on earlier versions).<\/li>\n<li>Click on <strong>Confidentiality and security<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Scroll to the <strong>FileVault<\/strong> and click on <strong>Activate<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Choose your recovery method: iCloud account or local recovery key.<\/li>\n<li>Encryption starts in the background - you can continue to use your Mac as normal.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<div class=\"info-box tip\">\n<strong>Technical advice :<\/strong> on Macs equipped with an Apple Silicon chip (M1, M2, M3, M4), FileVault is activated by default and hardware encryption is built into the chip. You should still check that the feature is active in your settings. On an Intel Mac, activation takes a few hours depending on the size of your disk.\n<\/div>\n\n<table class=\"tg-table\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Criteria<\/th>\n<th>FileVault disabled<\/th>\n<th>FileVault activated<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><span class=\"cell-label\">Access to data after theft<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span class=\"cell-desc\">Possible in Target Disk mode<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span class=\"cell-desc\">Impossible without password<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span class=\"cell-label\">Impact on performance<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span class=\"cell-desc\">No<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span class=\"cell-desc\">Negligible (Apple Silicon) to slight (Intel)<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span class=\"cell-label\">Protection of sensitive data<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span class=\"cell-desc\">Limited to the session password<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span class=\"cell-desc\">Full AES-256 encryption<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span class=\"cell-label\">Recovery if you forget<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span class=\"cell-desc\">Simple reset<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span class=\"cell-desc\">Recovery key or iCloud required<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n<div class=\"info-box warning\">\n<strong>Please note:<\/strong> Keep your FileVault Recovery Key in a safe place, separate from your Mac. If you forget your password AND your recovery key, your data will be permanently inaccessible. Write it down and store it in a safe place.\n<\/div>\n\n<h2 id=\"sauvegardes\">Backups: the 3-2-1 rule applied to the Mac<\/h2>\n\n<p>Encrypting your disk protects against theft, but not against hardware failure, accidental deletion or ransomware. The only truly comprehensive protection is a solid backup strategy. IT professionals apply the 3-2-1 rule: three copies of your data, on two different types of media, including one off-site.<\/p>\n\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/sauvegarde-time-machine-mac-strategie.webp\" alt=\"3-2-1 backup strategy for Mac with Time Machine\" title=\"The 3-2-1 rule for effectively backing up your Mac\" width=\"1200\" height=\"568\" loading=\"lazy\">\n\n<h3>Time Machine: automatic local backup<\/h3>\n\n<p>Time Machine is still the simplest and most reliable backup tool for the Mac. Plug in an external drive, activate Time Machine, and your Mac is automatically backed up every hour. In the event of a problem, you can restore an individual file, a folder or even your entire system at a specific time. For detailed configuration, see our <a href=\"\/en\/time-machine-mac-backup\/\">complete Time Machine guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<h3>iCloud Drive: off-site copying<\/h3>\n\n<p>iCloud automatically synchronises your documents, photos and important files on Apple servers. It's your offsite copy: even if your Mac and external drive are destroyed (fire, flood), your data remains accessible from any Apple device or via icloud.com. The 200GB package costs \u20ac2.99 per month, and the 2TB package costs \u20ac9.99 per month - a derisory investment compared with the value of your data.<\/p>\n\n<h3>Bootable clone: the ultimate insurance<\/h3>\n\n<p>For maximum protection, create a bootable clone of your disk using software such as Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper! Unlike Time Machine, a clone allows you to boot directly from the backup disk if your primary disk fails. It's the preferred solution for professionals who can't afford any downtime.<\/p>\n\n<table class=\"tg-table\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Solution<\/th>\n<th>Type<\/th>\n<th>Automatic<\/th>\n<th>Catering<\/th>\n<th>Cost<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><span class=\"cell-label\">Time Machine<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span class=\"cell-desc\">Local incremental<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span class=\"cell-desc\">Yes (hourly)<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span class=\"cell-desc\">File, folder or system<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span class=\"cell-desc\">Free + external disk<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span class=\"cell-label\">iCloud Drive<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span class=\"cell-desc\">Cloud (off-site)<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span class=\"cell-desc\">Yes (continuous)<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span class=\"cell-desc\">Individual files<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span class=\"cell-desc\">2.99 to \u20ac9.99\/month<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span class=\"cell-label\">Bootable clone<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span class=\"cell-desc\">Full local<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span class=\"cell-desc\">Plannable<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span class=\"cell-desc\">Direct start<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span class=\"cell-desc\">Software ~40 \u20ac + disk<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n<h2 id=\"mots-de-passe\">Passwords and iCloud Keychain<\/h2>\n\n<p>A weak password is like an armoured door with the key under the mat. In 2026, an eight-character password with no special characters can be cracked in a few minutes by brute force. Rigorous management of your passwords is a fundamental pillar of data protection.<\/p>\n\n<h3>iCloud Keychain and the Passwords app<\/h3>\n\n<p>Since macOS Sequoia, Apple offers a dedicated application <strong>Password<\/strong> which replaces the old access keychain. It generates complex passwords, stores them encrypted, synchronises them between your devices and alerts you if any of your passwords have been compromised in a known data leak. Use it systematically for every new online account.<\/p>\n\n<h3>The golden rules<\/h3>\n\n<ul>\n<li>A single password per service - never re-used.<\/li>\n<li>Minimum 16 characters for critical accounts (bank, main email address, Apple ID).<\/li>\n<li>Activate the <strong>passkeys<\/strong> wherever available - it's more secure than a traditional password and easier to use.<\/li>\n<li>Activate the\u2019<strong>two-factor authentication<\/strong> (2FA) on your Apple ID and on any service that offers it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<div class=\"info-box danger\">\n<strong>Review:<\/strong> Your Apple ID is the keystone of your entire ecosystem. If someone accesses it, they can remotely lock your Mac, wipe your iCloud data and access your photos, emails and documents. Protect it with a strong password and two-factor authentication - it's non-negotiable.\n<\/div>\n\n<h2 id=\"pare-feu\">Firewall and network confidentiality<\/h2>\n\n<p>Your Mac is constantly communicating with the outside world: updates, iCloud synchronisation, web browsing, third-party applications. The firewall built into macOS controls these incoming connections and blocks attempts at unauthorised access.<\/p>\n\n<h3>Activate the macOS firewall<\/h3>\n\n<p>Go to <strong>System Settings \u2192 Network \u2192 Firewall<\/strong> and activate it. By default, macOS blocks all unsolicited incoming connections while allowing essential system services. For standard use, the default configuration is sufficient. If you host a local server or use screen sharing, you can add exceptions manually.<\/p>\n\n<h3>Protecting your WiFi connection<\/h3>\n\n<p>A public WiFi network (caf\u00e9, airport, hotel) is an ideal hunting ground for hackers. Anyone connected to the same network can potentially intercept your unencrypted data. Two solutions:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>iCloud Private Relay<\/strong> (included in iCloud+): masks your IP address and encrypts your Safari traffic.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Third-party VPN<\/strong> encrypts all your network traffic, not just Safari.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>If your WiFi is causing problems, our guide <a href=\"\/en\/mac-wifi-not-working\/\">WiFi Mac no longer works<\/a> can help you diagnose the situation before reinforcing your network security.<\/p>\n\n<h2 id=\"macos-securite\">MacOS security settings to be activated immediately<\/h2>\n\n<p>macOS is packed with security features, but some are not activated by default or need to be adjusted. Here's a checklist of settings to check now to protect your data on the Mac.<\/p>\n\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/reglages-securite-macos-checklist.webp\" alt=\"Checklist of macOS security settings to activate\" title=\"macOS security settings essential in 2026\" width=\"1200\" height=\"568\" loading=\"lazy\">\n\n<table class=\"tg-table\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Setting<\/th>\n<th>Location<\/th>\n<th>Recommended action<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><span class=\"cell-label\">FileVault<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span class=\"cell-desc\">Confidentiality and security \u2192 FileVault<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span class=\"cell-desc\">Activate<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span class=\"cell-label\">Firewall<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span class=\"cell-desc\">Network \u2192 Firewall<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span class=\"cell-desc\">Activate<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span class=\"cell-label\">Locate my Mac<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span class=\"cell-desc\">Apple ID \u2192 Locate<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span class=\"cell-desc\">Activate (allows remote wiping)<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span class=\"cell-label\">Automatic updates<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span class=\"cell-desc\">General \u2192 Software update<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span class=\"cell-desc\">Activate all options<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span class=\"cell-label\">Gatekeeper<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span class=\"cell-desc\">Confidentiality and security<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span class=\"cell-desc\">Keep on \u00abApp Store and identified developers\u00bb.\u00bb<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span class=\"cell-label\">Automatic locking<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span class=\"cell-desc\">Locking screen<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span class=\"cell-desc\">5 minutes maximum<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span class=\"cell-label\">Password after standby<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span class=\"cell-desc\">Locking screen<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span class=\"cell-desc\">Immediately<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span class=\"cell-label\">Location services<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span class=\"cell-desc\">Confidentiality and security \u2192 Location services<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span class=\"cell-desc\">Disable for non-essential apps<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n<h3>Locate my Mac: the anti-theft weapon<\/h3>\n\n<p>The function <strong>Locate my Mac<\/strong> is not just for finding a lost Mac. It also lets you lock it remotely with a personalised message, or erase all its data if you're sure you won't get it back. Combined with FileVault, this feature makes a stolen Mac completely unusable and its data inaccessible. To find out more about the security features built into macOS, visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/support.apple.com\/fr-be\/guide\/mac-help\/flvlt003\/mac\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">official Apple data protection page<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<h3>Keeping macOS up to date<\/h3>\n\n<p>MacOS updates are not just cosmetic. Each update corrects security flaws, some of which are actively exploited by hackers. Delaying a security update leaves the door open to known vulnerabilities. Activate automatic updates and never postpone a critical security update. Apple regularly publishes patches via <a href=\"https:\/\/support.apple.com\/fr-be\/100100\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Apple security updates<\/a> - check that your Mac is up to date.<\/p>\n\n<h2 id=\"menaces\">The real threats in 2026 and how to protect against them<\/h2>\n\n<p>Understanding today's threats is the best way to protect against them. Here are the most common risks facing Mac users in 2026, and the reflexes they should adopt.<\/p>\n\n<h3>Phishing<\/h3>\n\n<p>Phishing remains the number one threat across all platforms. An email or text message prompts you to click on a link and enter your credentials on a fake website. Phishing campaigns targeting Apple users are particularly sophisticated: fake \u00abApple ID suspended\u00bb emails, fake iCloud notifications, fake security warnings. The best thing to do: never click on a link in an email alert. Open Safari manually and type in the address of the site concerned yourself.<\/p>\n\n<h3>MacOS malware<\/h3>\n\n<p>Malware targeting macOS is on the rise. The most common in 2026 will be adware (intrusive advertising), infostealers (theft of passwords and bank details) and ransomware (encryption of your files with a ransom demand). Gatekeeper and XProtect, the protections built into macOS, block the majority of these threats - provided you don't bypass them by installing software from unverified sources. Our article on <a href=\"\/en\/is-antivirus-necessary-on-mac-tests\/\">Mac antivirus<\/a> details the complementary solutions available.<\/p>\n\n<h3>Physical theft<\/h3>\n\n<p>A stolen MacBook without FileVault activated means direct access to your entire digital life. With FileVault, Locate My Mac and a strong session password, the thief is left with a beautiful aluminium object that's completely unusable. It's the combination of these three protections that makes the difference.<\/p>\n\n<h3>Compromised WiFi networks<\/h3>\n\n<p>Man-in-the-middle attacks on public WiFi networks make it possible to intercept the data exchanged between your Mac and the sites you visit. Although most sites now use HTTPS, some applications still transmit data in cleartext. Use iCloud Private Relay or a VPN on any network that is not your own.<\/p>\n\n<h3>Social engineering<\/h3>\n\n<p>A fake Apple technician calling you, a \u00abfriend\u00bb asking you for a verification code received by text message, an email from your \u00abbank\u00bb: social engineering exploits human trust. The absolute rule: Apple will never call you to ask for your password or a verification code. Nobody legitimate will ask you for this information.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"info-box tip\">\n<strong>Technician's reflex:<\/strong> At R\u00e9paration MAC, we regularly see Macs infected by malicious software installed \u00abdeliberately\u00bb by users who thought they were downloading a Flash Player update or a video codec. Flash Player has not existed since 2020. If a site asks you to install anything to play a video, leave the page immediately.\n<\/div>\n\n<h2 id=\"faq\">Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\n\n<div class=\"faq-section\">\n\n<div class=\"faq-item\">\n<div class=\"faq-question\"><span>Does FileVault slow down my Mac ?<\/span><span class=\"faq-toggle\">+<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"faq-answer\"><p>On an Apple Silicon Mac (M1 and later), the impact is imperceptible because encryption is managed by the chip itself. On an Intel Mac with SSD, the slowdown is of the order of 1 to 3 %, invisible in everyday use. On an Intel Mac with a mechanical hard disk, the slowdown may be more noticeable, but these machines would first benefit from a <a href=\"\/en\/choose-install-mac-ssd-guide\/\">SSD upgrade<\/a>.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"faq-item\">\n<div class=\"faq-question\"><span>Do you need antivirus protection in addition to macOS protection?<\/span><span class=\"faq-toggle\">+<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"faq-answer\"><p>For the majority of users who keep macOS up to date and download only from the App Store or reliable sources, the built-in protections (XProtect, Gatekeeper, MRT) are sufficient. A third-party antivirus is recommended if you regularly download files from the Internet or if you use your Mac in a sensitive professional context.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"faq-item\">\n<div class=\"faq-question\"><span>How do I know if my Mac has been hacked?<\/span><span class=\"faq-toggle\">+<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"faq-answer\"><p>Common signs include: unknown applications in your Applications folder, an abnormally slow Mac for no reason, browser redirects to unknown sites, unusual pop-up ads, excessive network activity visible in the Activity Monitor, or changes to your settings that you haven't made. When in doubt, our team offers a <a href=\"\/en\/free-mac-diagnostic\/\">free diagnosis<\/a>.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"faq-item\">\n<div class=\"faq-question\"><span>Is the iCloud Keychain really secure?<\/span><span class=\"faq-toggle\">+<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"faq-answer\"><p>Yes, iCloud Keychain uses AES-256 end-to-end encryption, which means that even Apple can't read your stored passwords. Your data is encrypted on your device before being sent to the iCloud servers, and only your trusted devices can decrypt it.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"faq-item\">\n<div class=\"faq-question\"><span>What do I do if I've lost my FileVault Recovery Key ?<\/span><span class=\"faq-toggle\">+<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"faq-answer\"><p>If you chose iCloud recovery, you can reset your password online. If you opted for a local key and lost it while forgetting your password, the data is unfortunately irrecoverable - that's precisely the strength of encryption. That's why we always recommend keeping the key in a safe place and choosing iCloud recovery as a complement.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"faq-item\">\n<div class=\"faq-question\"><span>How can I protect the data on my Mac?<\/span><span class=\"faq-toggle\">+<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"faq-answer\"><p>In addition to the measures described in this guide, a business Mac should have a separate user account for work, a VPN configured for access to the company network, encrypted backups separate from personal backups and, ideally, MDM (Mobile Device Management) if your company offers it.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"faq-item\">\n<div class=\"faq-question\"><span>Are passkeys more secure than passwords?<\/span><span class=\"faq-toggle\">+<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"faq-answer\"><p>Yes, significantly. Passkeys are resistant to phishing because they are cryptographically linked to the website that created them - a fake site can't intercept them. They cannot be brute-force guessed or stolen in a database leak. Apple synchronises them encrypted via iCloud Keychain between all your devices.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"faq-item\">\n<div class=\"faq-question\"><span>Should I encrypt my Time Machine backups?<\/span><span class=\"faq-toggle\">+<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"faq-answer\"><p>Absolutely. If your Time Machine drive isn't encrypted, anyone with physical access to it can read your data - even if FileVault is enabled on your Mac. When configuring Time Machine, check the \u00abEncrypt backups\u00bb option. If your current backup is not encrypted, you will need to recreate it from scratch with this option enabled.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"faq-item\">\n<div class=\"faq-question\"><span>How can I permanently delete sensitive data on my Mac?<\/span><span class=\"faq-toggle\">+<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"faq-answer\"><p>On a Mac with an SSD (all recent Macs), simply deleting a file and emptying the recycle bin does not guarantee complete deletion. The safest method is to activate FileVault: deleted data remains encrypted and is therefore inaccessible. If you are selling your Mac, carry out a <a href=\"\/en\/reset-mac-to-factory-settings\/\">complete deletion via reset settings<\/a>.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"faq-item\">\n<div class=\"faq-question\"><span>Can MAC Repair help me secure my Mac?<\/span><span class=\"faq-toggle\">+<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"faq-answer\"><p>Of course you can. With over 15 years' experience since 2010, our team offers a complete security service: FileVault activation, Time Machine configuration, privacy settings verification, malware removal and clean macOS installation if required.
