Apple Submits Mac OS X For Security Evaluation

Posted by pudge on from the something-about-being-powered-off-and-buried-underground dept.

ranger8x writes "Apple has submitted Mac OS X and Mac OS X Server to the U.S. government's National Information Assurance Partnership to evaluate various security features. It seems Apple is looking for some respect by the government, and to 'get more exposure.'"

  1. gov't: a good market for apple by larry+bagina · · Score: 3, Interesting

    The Gov't could be a good market for apple,
    particularly now that they use OS X
    Gov't workers are getting tired of code red, nimda, etc, which hilite how insecure Windows is when not properly configured.
    Even though it would require new hardware, OS X has an advantage over linux due to native MS Office support, as well as more commercial applications.
