Apple @ Work: Evaluating Safari as a Possible Shadow IT Vulnerability in Organizations
**The Significance of Browser Management in Apple IT Settings**
In the dynamic realm of IT oversight, the role of web browsers as potential security threats is essential. A recent analysis by Omdia, commissioned by Parallels, emphasizes a troubling trend: 68% of organizations are experiencing a rise in browser-related security breaches. This concern is particularly pertinent for companies that are heavily dependent on browser-based SaaS solutions.
**The Safari Oversight**
A remarkable discovery from the Omdia analysis shows that while Google Chrome is officially endorsed by 88% of organizations and Microsoft Edge by 84%, Safari falls considerably short at just 46%. Worryingly, 27% of organizations mention that Safari is being used but lacks formal support. Considering that numerous Mac users favor Safari for its speed and seamless integration with macOS, this results in a significant oversight for IT departments. If Safari is not proactively managed utilizing device management solutions, organizations face the risk of exposing themselves to security threats.
**The Browser as an Emerging Endpoint**
The consequences of unregulated browsers are significant. The Omdia analysis reveals that 55% of the organizations surveyed have been victims of a browser-related attack in the previous year, with 22% suffering multiple successful breaches. Phishing attacks are the most frequent, impacting 40% of organizations, followed by data loss or leakage at 38% and harmful browser extensions at 34%.
To tackle these issues, solutions like Island, a Chromium-based browser tailored for enterprise security, are becoming popular. Island provides a familiar user interface while integrating smoothly with current IT and security frameworks, thereby enhancing the overall security stance.
**Summary**
IT teams cannot disregard the necessity of web browser management within their organizations. It is essential to actively oversee the browser experience from both user and security angles. Whether through careful management of Safari, implementing dedicated enterprise browsers, or making use of secure cross-platform extensions, IT departments should approach browser security with the same rigor as they do macOS itself. By doing so, organizations can reduce risks and safeguard their digital landscapes more efficiently.

Crucial Battery Storage Advice for Extended Device Maintenance
charging error that may be endangering your laptop battery or the batteries in your other devices. The concept is that remaining within that range minimizes chemical strain on the battery, enhancing its longevity and performance. But what should you do when you’re storing a device for an extended period? What steps should you take for a gadget you won’t be using for a while? Particularly since the battery continues to drain even when a device is switched off, albeit gradually.
The optimal approach is to turn off the device, as you typically would, but ensure the battery is at about half charge beforehand. Storing a fully drained device may lead the battery into a condition known as deep discharge. In this state, the battery will be unable to retain a charge. Conversely, if you keep the battery at full charge, it may lose capacity, reducing its overall lifespan.
If you’re keeping your device for an extended period, it’s advisable to power it on at least once every six months to verify the charge levels. If it reads 50%, you’re in the clear; if not, top it up slightly before turning it off again. An additional crucial factor to take into account is the location where you’re storing the device, especially the ambient temperature. Always avoid placing batteries in environments subject to extreme heat or cold. The preferred temperature range is between 50 and 77 degrees Fahrenheit.
