Security T2 built-in Chip
To provide users with the most secure boot process and data storage on a device, Apple has equipped the new 13-inch MacBook Pro with T2 Security Chip. It is Apple’s custom-designed 2nd generation silicon, which works as a gatekeeper by checking that software during boot process has not been tampered with and encrypts all data stored in SSD. It also stores user’s Touch ID information for unlocking, passwords, or online purchases.
