Now, following an audit by the German Federal Office for Information Security (Bundesamt f\u00fcr Sicherheit in der Informationstechnik, or BSI), they are approved for such uses in all 32 NATO member nations. <\/p>\n<p>Ivan Krsti\u0107, Apple\u2019s vice president of Security Engineering and Architecture, said, \u201cApple has built the most secure devices in the world for\u00a0all\u00a0its users, and those same protections are now uniquely certified under assurance requirements for NATO nations \u2014 unlike any other device in the industry.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Apple says this makes the iPhone and iPad the only consumer devices approved for such use without any special software installed. The security provided by iOS\/iPadOS 26 and Apple\u2019s hardware alone is sufficient when using the appropriate options enabled. Handling classified information typically requires bespoke devices, custom operating systems, or additional custom security software.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.macworld.com\/article\/3072767\/your-iphone-is-secure-enough-to-handle-classified-info.html\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Your iPhone is secure enough to handle classified info https:\/\/www.macworld.com\/article\/3072767\/your-iphone-is-secure-enough-to-handle-classified-info.html Publish Date: 2026-02-26 15:36:00 Source&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":217790,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.macworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/apple-security.jpg?quality=50&strip=all&w=1024","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[120],"tags":[69,57],"class_list":["post-217789","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-iphone","tag-ios","tag-security"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/217789"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=217789"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/217789\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":217791,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/217789\/revisions\/217791"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/217790"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=217789"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=217789"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=217789"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
