Jamf Continues its Investment in its Enterprise Security Platform, Empowering Both Organizations and Individuals to Be Produc...
15 Juni 2021 - 5:00PM
Jamf (NASDAQ: JAMF), the standard in Apple Enterprise Management,
recently announced a series of new security capabilities to help
organizations secure company data and stay compliant with company
policies, while empowering their employees to seamlessly access
what they need to be their best.
Giving End Users Easy but Secure Access to Workplace
Tools Stolen or compromised passwords are a security
threat now more than ever. IT admins try to combat this threat with
password policies, but strong passwords can be difficult for users
to remember, and passwords are often reused for multiple resources,
increasing vulnerability.
Jamf has expanded on the value of secure access to resources by
introducing an iPhone application called Jamf Unlock. Jamf Unlock
allows a user to passwordlessly authenticate and access their Mac,
using Face ID biometrics on the device they always have with them –
their iPhone.
Building its Endpoint Security Platform, Bolstered by
its Threat Detection Team ResearchAs the demand for Apple
continues to increase in the market, these devices become a bigger
target for malware authors and malicious actors. Jamf introduced
Jamf Protect in late 2019 and it has become a market-leading
Apple-specific security solution. Since launch, Jamf Protect has
added extensive anti-virus capabilities, expanded threat prevention
capabilities, introduced features to selectively collect device
logs for a distributed Mac fleet, added integrations into Microsoft
Azure Sentinel and AWS S3, and rounded out common administrative
capabilities with role-based access control.
Jamf’s platform is backed by its Threat Detection team’s
diligent research. As the team discovers threats, they can feed
this intelligence into Jamf’s solutions. In the last two months,
the team discovered and analyzed two major vulnerabilities in
macOS, now patched by Apple, that were actively being exploited by
Shlayer and XCSSET. Both vulnerabilities bypassed built-in macOS
security and privacy features, resulting in unverified trust to
execute and access user screens, respectively. Jamf’s Threat
Detections team continues to monitor for future attacks to help
organizations maintain the security of their Apple fleet.
Simplifying Compliance to Allow Security and IT Teams to
Focus on Strategic InitiativesCompanies implement
compliance and auditing standards to ensure security best practices
are in place to help guard against various cybersecurity risks that
have the potential to cause reputational harm and financial loss
and impact people’s daily lives.
This month, Jamf launched Compliance Reporter, an auditing and
compliance solution for macOS that monitors endpoint security
settings against common OS hardening benchmarks. Compliance
Reporter also maintains in-depth visibility to critical network,
process, system, and user activity for threat hunting by IT and
security teams, all without relying on any cloud
infrastructure.
Doubling Down in Mobile Security with Acquisition of
WanderaLast month, Jamf announced its intent to acquire
Wandera, a leader in zero trust cloud security and access for
mobile devices. Building on Jamf’s existing capabilities, Wandera
adds Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), mobile threat defense, and
data policy features to ensure mobile workers can simply and safely
access the network resources they need while complying with
organizational policies and reducing mobile charges. This
acquisition uniquely positions Jamf to help IT and security teams
protect the devices, data and applications used by a mobile
workforce, while extending the intended Apple experience through
the most robust and scalable Apple Enterprise Management platform
in the market. The deal is expected to close in the third
quarter.
“The security needs of enterprise organizations are changing, as
their employees demand to work from the devices and locations they
want,” said Josh Stein, director of strategy, security, Jamf. “Jamf
is committed to building the most secure and scalable Apple
Enterprise Management platform available and to letting IT and
security teams stay compliant with company policies while
empowering their end users to be their most productive and
protected from whichever device and workspace they
choose.”About JamfJamf, the standard in Apple
Enterprise Management, extends the legendary Apple experience
