| New requirement: TLS 1.2 minimum with ATS-compliant cipher suites and certificates. If your MDM or management infrastructure falls short, things break in ways that aren't always obvious. Enrollment failures, profiles not installing, update commands silently failing. | ||

| Apple published [support article 126655 ("Prepare your network environment for stricter security requirements")](https://support.apple.com/en-us/126655) to help you audit. Run it against your MDM and any internal management endpoints now, not in September. | ||

| **Content caching (macOS 27):** The `com.apple.configuration.content-cache.settings` configuration replaces the `com.apple.AssetCache.managed` profile. New status items for cache info, parents, and peers. Custom HTTPS reporting endpoints are supported. If you run content caches, plan the migration. | ||
|
|
||
| **Configuration profiles as declarative assets:** Legacy profiles can be delivered as declarative assets via the new `ProfileAssetReference` key in `com.apple.configuration.legacy`. Integrity verification is built in. This is a useful bridge for teams partway through the DDM transition. |

FYI @kitzy I think we want to remove this because at the Apple IT summit in Cupertino we learned that the com.apple.configuration.legacy declaration is buggy. Some vendors mentioned they regret implementing it because it's not working as expected.

| 3. Migrate Intelligence, Siri, and keyboard restrictions to the new declarative configurations. | ||
| 1. Verify your MDM vendor's DDM software update support. This is the fire drill. Do it today. If you use Fleet, you're already set. | ||
| 2. Audit TLS/ATS compliance across your MDM and management infrastructure using Apple's support article 126655. If you use Fleet, you're already set. | ||
| 3. Migrate Intelligence, Siri, and keyboard restrictions to the new declarative configurations. Fleet already supports all declarations that are replacing deprecated v1 profiles (.mobileconfig). Assets and user-scoped declarations are [coming in Fleet 4.90](https://github.com/fleetdm/fleet/issues/38986). Custom activations are [coming in Fleet 4.91.0](https://github.com/fleetdm/fleet/issues/48222). |

@MagnusHJensen is this true today? (pre 4.90)
Do I have to turn on the feature flag? (mdm.allow_all_declarations)
