Apple publishes a security configuration guide for OS X:

The NSA also publishes hardening tips:

Hi there,
Are there any guides that tell me how to make a new computer secure, for both
use and connecting and communicating via the net?
My set up is as follows:
- Macbook Pro, running Mac OS 10.6.8
My requirements are as follows:
- I am almost always connected to the net, and need fast access, and full
web-browsing experience
- I'd like to block apps from sending out / receiving data from the net
- I'd like a secure cloud storage space for my own stuff and occasionally share
with others
- My workplace is Microsoft-based we have email via IMAP. I'd like to have the
option to send encrypted (PGP) emails to others.
- I'd like to secure the email that's stored on my laptop. I'd like to use
Apple Mail as my client.
- I travel often, and I'd prefer not to have my data fall in to the wrong hands.
- I am not a geek, but can install my own applications and if guided properly
can do terminal stuff

Any feedback or direction appreciated.
Best, Sam :-)
