They'd be much better served by using a pfSense device and setting a calendar reminder every 3 - 6 months to log in and click the "Upgrade" button.

Logging in and clicking? No thanks. I'm not dealing with dozens of remote devices that way. If it can't be automated it is just a hobbyist product.

So, you like automated unattended updates? I'm sure nothing could go wrong with that..

Apple Releases IOS Security Guide 91

Posted by samzenpus from the protect-ya-neck dept.
Trailrunner7 writes in with a story about a iOS security guide released by Apple. "Apple has released a detailed security guide for its iOS operating system, an unprecedented move for a company known for not discussing the technical details of its products, let alone the security architecture. The document lays out the system architecture, data protection capabilities and network security features in iOS, most of which had been known before but hadn't been publicly discussed by Apple. The iOS Security guide (PDF), released within the last week, represents Apple's first real public documentation of the security architecture and feature set in iOS, the operating system that runs on iPhones, iPads and iPod Touch devices. Security researchers have been doing their best to reverse engineer the operating system for several years and much of what's in the new Apple guide has been discussed in presentations and talks by researchers. 'Apple doesn't really talk about their security mechanisms in detail. When they introduced ASLR, they didn't tell anybody. They didn't ever explain how codesigning worked,' security researcher Charlie Miller said."
