  • Real ASLR (address space layout randomization).
  • Full use of hardware-enforced Non-eXecutable memory (NX).
  • Default 64-bit native execution for any security-sensitive processes.
  • Sandbox policies for Safari, Mail.app, and third-party applications.
  • Mandatory code signing for any kernel extensions.
