Mac / iPad automatic enrollment

When you purchase a Macintosh or iPad using an index number belonging to a Social Sciences department or research unit, the machine will automatically be enrolled in device management at first bootup.  

This enrollment will automatically turn on full device encryption, and will allow the device to be remote-wiped if it is lost or stolen.  

In later stages, we use these management tools to push antivirus software, etc. to all of the systems we're responsible for protecting.  Our intent is not to use these tools to watch what you do with the computer - we will continue to try to actively avoid collecting unnecessary log data, and hope to use these tools simply to better protect your system by ensuring that it's properly encrypted and protected against security vulnerabilities.

 Existing machines or those that are purchased other than via the bookstore (or using an index that doesn't come from Social Sciences) can be enrolled manually by contacting SSCF.
