iPhone and iPad are the first consumer devices cleared for NATO ‘RESTRICTED’ classification
嗯,用户让我总结一下这篇文章的内容,控制在一百个字以内,而且不需要用“文章内容总结”或者“这篇文章”这样的开头。直接写描述即可。首先,我需要通读整篇文章,抓住主要信息。 文章主要讲的是苹果的iPhone和iPad获得了北约的批准,可以用于处理机密信息。这是首次有消费级设备获得北约的“RESTRICTED”分类认证。苹果的iNDIGO配置在德国BSI的认证下达到了VS-NfD(德国机密)级别。设备使用了Touch ID、Face ID、内存完整性保护等安全措施。 接下来,我需要把这些信息浓缩到100字以内。要突出苹果设备是首款获得北约认证的消费设备,iNDIGO配置的作用以及安全特性。 可能的结构是:苹果iPhone和iPad获北约认证,用于处理机密信息,成为首款消费设备。iNDIGO配置通过德国BSI认证,支持Touch ID、Face ID和内存保护。 检查一下字数是否合适,确保没有超过限制,并且表达清晰。 </think> 苹果iPhone和iPad获北约认证,可用于处理机密信息,成为首款消费级设备。其iNDIGO配置通过德国BSI认证,支持Touch ID、Face ID及内存完整性保护。 2026-2-27 12:30:55 Author: securityaffairs.com(查看原文) 阅读量:1 收藏

iPhone and iPad are the first consumer devices cleared for NATO ‘RESTRICTED’ classification

Pierluigi Paganini February 27, 2026

Apple’s iPhone and iPad are now NATO-approved for classified use, listed in the alliance’s Information Assurance Product Catalogue.

Apple announced that its iPhone and iPad have received NATO approval to handle classified information. The devices are now officially listed in the NATO Information Assurance Product Catalogue (NIAPC), allowing military personnel to use them securely for sensitive communications and operations.

Devices listed in the NATO Information Assurance Product Catalogue (NIAPC) are commercial security products built in NATO member states, designed to protect NATO or national classified information. They meet strict information security standards, undergo NATO or national vetting, hold recognized certifications like Common Criteria or INFOSEC approvals, and receive explicit approval for handling classified data, often up to levels such as NATO Restricted or NATO Secret.

iPhone and iPad are the first consumer devices cleared for NATO’s ‘RESTRICTED’ classification.

“iPhone and iPad with indigo configuration provide secure access to Mail, Calendar, and Contacts data using apps built for iPhone and iPad.” reads the announcement. “iOS 26 and iPadOS 26 with indigo configuration is approved for iPhone and iPad up to NATO RESTRICTED. Indigo doesn’t require any special additional software or settings beyond managing and supervising devices using a device management service.”

Apple iNDIGO (iOS Native Devices in Government Operation) is a hardened, government-specific configuration for iOS and iPadOS devices, approved by Germany’s BSI for classified info like VS-NfD (German Secret).

Apple confirmed that the NIAPC “indigo configuration” is just a naming by the German BSI and that standard iPhone and iPad setups received NATO approval.

Apple devices use Touch ID and Face ID for fast, secure access, offer Memory Integrity Enforcement on A19/M5 chips, and support VPNs..
