Our groundbreaking security technologies protect the users of over 2.35 billion active devices around the world. Hear about the latest advances in Apple security from our engineering teams, send us your own research, and work directly with us to be recognized and rewarded for helping keep our users safe.
Today we’re announcing the next major chapter for Apple Security Bounty, featuring the industry’s highest rewards — up to $2 million for sophisticated exploit chains and a maximum payout in excess of $5 million with bonuses — expanded research categories, and a flag system for researchers to objectively demonstrate vulnerabilities and obtain accelerated awards. These updates will go into effect in November 2025.
Read moreMemory Integrity Enforcement (MIE) is the culmination of an unprecedented design and engineering effort, spanning half a decade, that combines the unique strengths of Apple silicon hardware with our advanced operating system security to provide industry-first, always-on memory safety protection across our devices — without compromising our best-in-class device performance. We believe Memory Integrity Enforcement represents the most significant upgrade to memory safety in the history of consumer operating systems.
Read moreThe 2026 Security Research Device Program is now accepting applications from qualified security researchers. In addition to a specially fused iPhone that helps accelerate research, participants gain access to exclusive software previews, custom tooling, and the SRD research community. Plus, all vulnerabilities discovered using the Security Research Device are automatically considered for Apple Security Bounty. We invite researchers to apply online through October 31, 2025.
