Apple Intelligence: How secure is my corporate data?

With the introduction of Apple Intelligence, Apple has significantly enhanced its AI capabilities, offering users a more intuitive experience.
However, this advancement raises important questions about the security of corporate data.

We explore the measures Apple has implemented to ensure data privacy and security, and provide insight into trusting sensitive information with Apple Intelligence.

Key security features of Apple Intelligence

A standout feature is its ability to perform most AI processing directly on the device. This reduces the risk of data breaches.

Some tasks require off-device processing. For these, Apple uses Private Cloud Compute (PCC), designed with strong privacy protections:

• Stateless Computation: Processes data without leaving any trace.

• Enforceable Guarantees: Core security and privacy promises are upheld.

• No Privileged Runtime Access: Prevents bypassing privacy protections during incident resolution.

• Non-Targetability: Designed to resist attacks on specific users.

• Verifiable Transparency: Security researchers can verify PCC’s privacy and security claims.

Implications for Corporate Data Security

Apple’s development of on-device processing and PCC demonstrates a commitment to data privacy. By minimising data exposure and ensuring robust privacy measures, Apple Intelligence has set a new standard for AI-driven devices. Businesses can leverage these advancements to enhance their data security strategies, ensuring that sensitive corporate information remains protected.
