Wont save you from all the bugs and vulnerabilities...

Install a decent Linux if you want a secure OS.

common sense 2016

That still won't save you if you go with what came out of the box... even the firewall is by default off on macs.

install freebsd

OP why do you ask such question in /g/? Its filled with paranoid neets, meanwhile in the real world I'm using osx for development in the last 3 years, never had any security issue of any sort, working with 30+ people that never ever had a problem too - no AV no firewall (if not the one builtin)

>>54320704
Firewalls aren't necessary unless you run some shitty vulnerable server software

dont turn it on

or how about not run OSX

>>54320598
It's not OSX. It's every single OS which enabled 3rd party code execution. Incuding anons "secure linux distribution" >>54320649. I could write you shit that will fuck up anything from commodore to old nokias.
Also listen to this anons >>54320674

Like retardness level of security? It's simple - it's limited to hardware and not software. It would need to:
- run code from readonly memory
- have no access to 3rd party software, this incudes browsing the internet
I think linux on dreamcast ran from CD is pretty close. The worst that can happen is the console reboot lol

>paranoid
OS X had 178 arbitrary code execution vulns in 2015, 73 of which had a CVSS > 9, remind me how something worse than Windows XP can be secure. And I'm not even including the RCE vulns in Safari or even fucking iTunes.

>how would you best keep it secure?
Never turn it on :^)
