I think this means that Apple sees AI as a very important component of its future, that PCC is central to moving forward into tomorrow, and that it will now also find some way to transform platform security with similar tools. Apple's fearsome reputation for security means that even its opponents have nothing but respect for the powerful platforms it has built. This reputation is also the reason why more and more companies are moving, or should be moving, to Apple's platforms.
Security protection now falls under the passionate leadership of Ivan Krstić, who also led the design and implementation of key security tools like Lockdown Mode, iCloud Advanced Data Protection, and Apple ID two-factor authentication. “Apple operates one of the most advanced security engineering operations in the world, and we will continue to work tirelessly to protect our users from abusive state-sponsored actors like NSO Group,” Krstic previously promised.
When it comes to rewards for uncovering flaws in PCC, researchers can now earn up to $1 million if they find a vulnerability that allows arbitrary code to be executed with arbitrary entitlements, or a cool $250,000 if they discover some way to access user request data or sensitive information. About their requests.
