Checklist Summary:

The Apple macOS 14 Security Technical Implementation Guide (STIG) provides security policy and configuration requirements for the use of Apple macOS 14 in the Department of Defense (DOD). Guidance in these documents applies only to Apple macOS 14 and related components on DOD systems and excludes any other components or software running on DOD systems. The Apple macOS 14 STIG includes supplemental guidance for reference when attempting to implement the Smart Card Policy requirements listed in the STIG. Failure to reference this guidance could result in a total loss of access to the operating system. The Apple macOS 14 STIG presumes operation in an environment compliant with all applicable DOD guidance, especially concerning remote access and network infrastructure. The requirements were developed from the General Purpose Operating System Security Requirements Guide (GPOS SRG). The vulnerabilities discussed in this document are applicable to Apple macOS 14 installations. This document is meant for use in conjunction with the Enclave, Network Infrastructure, Secure Remote Computing, and appropriate application STIGs.
