"We give the business one dashboard where there's a catalog of applications that we've curated, vetted, and approved," Covington says, "and another dashboard that shows what applications are in use in their fleet, what might need updates, and through that one console action all the changes that need to happen across devices." The feature simplifies for IT the task of installing and updating macOS applications not found in Apple's App Store. In addition, a feature called App Installers has been added to the Jamf App Catalog offering. Jamf also unveiled a new BYOD workflow that preserves personal privacy by preventing IT from having too much control over an employee's device yet addresses IT concerns by allowing them to adequately manage and secure the device while it's accessing company resources. A single dashboard, catalog of vetted applicationsĪnother new offering, Jamf Fundamentals, adds new capabilities to its device management technology for protecting, connecting, and empowering small to midsized businesses with features such as malware prevention, password sync, and self-service functionality.
We haven't had those tools for the Mac."Īnother new app, Jamf Trust, will work across all Apple's operating systems, as well as with Android and Windows, and makes it easier for end-users to work with the company's security programs, and a new internet and network safety offering, Jamf Safe Internet, combines content filtering and network threat prevention to block unsafe and malicious content. "There's a lot of good tools for the Windows-minded CISO to get deep into the kernel, to extract signals from the device. "That's been a blind spot when it comes to Macs in the past," Covington continues. "We're making all that information available to security teams to give them visibility into what these devices are doing day-in and day-out." Those features create three key touchpoints to collect security-relevant data, Jamf Vice President for Product Strategy Michael Covington tells CSO. They include network threat protection, which allows endpoints to report network-based indicators of compromise, comprehensive logging of endpoint and network security events, and removable storage controls to ensure that sensitive data is written to USB mass media drives. Three new features were added to the company's endpoint and network security platform, Jamf Protect. Jamf maintained the new offerings would help organizations create an enterprise-secure, consumer-simple environment that protects personal privacy.
