Endpoint Security was not specifically mentioned in the provided context. However, there are several related topics on security and device management that were discussed at WWDC 2024. Here are some highlights:

  1. FileVault Login Policies:

    • New policies now require IDP (Identity Provider) authentication across the FileVault login window and lock screen, enhancing security. This includes stronger security options like HPKE (Hybrid Public Key Encryption). For more details, you can refer to the session What’s new in device management (17:11).
  2. Platform Single Sign-On (SSO):

    • Developers can build SSO extensions that extend to the macOS login window, allowing users to synchronize local account credentials with an identity provider. This expands the capabilities of platform SSO, leveraging information from identity providers in more places. More details can be found in the session What’s new in device management (16:22).
  3. Private Cloud Compute:

    • Apple introduced a robust cloud security foundation based on Apple silicon, which includes secure enclave, secure boot, trusted execution monitor, and attestation. This ensures that only signed and verified code runs, and user data is protected through end-to-end encryption. For more information, see the session Platforms State of the Union (06:17).
  4. Local Network Privacy:

    • New platform capabilities focus on privacy and security, including a system feature that allows users to lock sensitive apps to protect information when handing their devices to others. This is detailed in the session What’s new in privacy (19:15).

These sessions provide a comprehensive overview of the new security and privacy features introduced at WWDC 2024. If you have any specific questions about these features or need more detailed information, feel free to ask!
