Jamf Extends Collaboration with Microsoft Enterprise Mobility + Security with iOS Device Compliance
10 September 2020 - 4:00PM
The need to support a remote workforce has shifted security focus
from what was previously within the perimeter of a corporate
network to extend beyond these walls. Because of this,
organizations are looking for a streamlined way to manage and
secure all of their devices. Today Jamf, the standard in Apple
Enterprise Management, announced it is extending its collaboration
with Microsoft Enterprise Mobility + Security by launching iOS
Device Compliance, available now in a closed preview.
Through this offering, organizations are empowered
to choose Jamf for iOS management while also sharing important
device information, like compliance status, with Microsoft Endpoint
Manager. IT teams can utilize Jamf features for Apple ecosystem
management, while leveraging Conditional Access powered by Azure
Active Directory and Microsoft Endpoint Manager to ensure that only
trusted users
from compliant
devices, using approved
apps, are able to access company data.
“Trends like employee technology choice programs
and the consumerization of IT continue to grow, and organizations
need management tools that can adapt and shift to hybrid
environments,” said Brad Anderson, corporate vice
president at Microsoft. “With Microsoft and Jamf, IT teams can
consolidate management of employee devices, while not losing the
ability to provide key ecosystem-specific functionality.”
iOS Device Compliance is expected to be generally
available for all Jamf customers later this year.
Organizations already enjoy the ability to leverage
Conditional Access on macOS devices, by sharing inventory data from
Jamf with Microsoft Endpoint Manager. Today’s announcement of an
expanded collaboration adds iOS support. Now IT teams can prevent
an authorized user from using any macOS or iOS device that does not
comply with security policies, and leverage Jamf Self Service for
remediation.
Jamf addresses this by requiring the user to
register devices they want to use to access applications connected
with Azure Active Directory, including Microsoft 365 Apps. First,
compliance criteria is established and measured on the iOS device
by Jamf. The device information collected by Jamf is then sent to
Microsoft Endpoint Manager. Finally, Endpoint Manager checks the
device’s compliance state and leverages Azure Active Directory to
dynamically grant or deny access. If the device is not compliant, a
notification is sent to the user, requiring remediation in Jamf
Self Service.
“We know IT teams want the simplicity of managing
and securing all their devices within a single pane, while still
providing the intended Apple experience employees demand and
deserve,” said Jason Wudi, chief technology officer, Jamf. “Jamf
and Microsoft have a long history of collaborating to better
empower the end user and IT, and today’s announcement of iOS Device
Compliance shows we are committed to continuing to innovate to make
the modern management experience better for enterprises growing
their Apple fleet.”
In 2017, Jamf and Microsoft announced a
collaboration to bring Conditional Access to macOS, which included
the ability to share inventory data from Jamf Pro to Microsoft
Intune, apply Conditional Access and offer remediation paths –
ensuring that trusted users are accessing corporate data from
trusted applications on trusted devices. Then in 2018, Jamf again
expanded Microsoft technology integration to create a more seamless
login experience for end users.
