iOS 5.1 Hardening Configuration Guide

iOS5.1 Hardening Guide

The Defence Signals Directorate which is part of the Australian Government Department of Defence previously issued a hardening guide in June 2011.

That guide covered iOS 4.3.3 and higher and is still available here: http://www.dsd.gov.au/publications/iOS_Hardening_Guide.pdf.

Within that guide, it was stated:

“DSD does not recommend iOS for use at the PROTECTED/RESTRICTED
level. This guide is intended for use at UNCLASSIFIED and UNCLASSIFIED IN-CONFIDENCE”

Last week, an updated guide was released which is available here. The updated version covers iOS 5.1 or higher.
