It’s supported by the company\u2019s own in-house team of security researchers<\/a>. Used on its own, it can prevent and quarantine malware; \u00a0when used alongside JamfPro for MDM, it can do more to secure deployments, including locking down or erasing compromised Macs.<\/p>\n Apple\u2019s enterprise market<\/a> is far bigger now<\/a> than it has been in decades, with its products in use across most of the world\u2019s biggest firms and a growing place in small enterprise.\u00a0IDC recently reported<\/a> that the Mac has become the fastest-growing\u00a0computer worldwide among enterprises<\/a>, with iPhones and iPads also seeing a lot of use.<\/p>\n Particularly during the pandemic, this has led businesses to recognize the need to protect these many Apple endpoints<\/a>, supplementing the platform\u2019s industry-leading security with additional protection. Zero-trust<\/a>, location-specific, user-related single-sign-in approaches have evolved rapidly\u00a0over the last two years<\/a>.<\/p>\n These latest new features add a component of automated situation awareness to the mix, which is a promising tech for fleet security.<\/p>\n JamfTrust is designed to be an easy-to-use employee focused app that gives your staff access to powerful security capabilities without affecting performance or productivity. It provides workflows related to the company\u2019s suite of security products and aims to eliminate the friction employees may feel when using these.<\/p>\n The company plans to launch JamfTrust for iPhones, iPads, Macs, Android, and Windows systems next month.<\/p>\n The company has also ramped-up internet protection with its student\/K12 education product, Jamf Safe Internet.\u00a0It combines content filtering and network threat prevention features, including the capacity to protect users from \u00a0malware and phishing attacks.<\/p>\n The company says it will filter results without invading privacy or affecting the learning experience. This is slated to be available for macOS and iOS in summer.<\/p>\n \u201cJamf is one of the very few companies in the world that offer both endpoint management and endpoint security \u2014 giving Jamf the unique ability to identify, prevent, and remediate security threats automatically,\u201d Jamf CEO, Dean Hager told the author.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd of the few companies in the market that do both, Jamf is the only provider that manages and secures the Apple-first enterprise, which is a critical differentiator since the iPhone is the #1 phone in the enterprise; the iPad is the #1 enterprise tablet; and the Mac is the fastest growing computer in the enterprise.<\/p>\n \u201cApple provides the endpoints for businesses of the future. Jamf not only supports this growth, we drive it by delivering a consumer-simple experience that employees love and an enterprise-secure solution that organizations trust,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n \u201cOrganizations should not have to choose between comprehensive security and exceptional usability in today\u2019s work anywhere environments,\u201d Michael Covington, vice president of portfolio strategy at Jamf, said in a statement. “That\u2019s why we are excited to expand on the security capabilities available in the enterprise-secure, consumer-simple platform our customers know and love.<\/p>\n \u201cWe want organizations to confidently send devices into the world that have good baseline configurations that can detect and stop malware compromise, and that are equipped with preventative measures to block inbound attacks like phishing from impacting worker productivity.\u201d<\/p>\n Jamf is on a roll as Apple\u2019s enterprise share expands. Not only does it now protect more than 26 million devices<\/a>, but the company also recently introduced two new Apple admin tools \u2014 one to\u00a0simplify a<\/a>nd<\/a> automate\u00a0Mac app installations\u00a0in<\/a> business, another to\u00a0manage and secure Apple devices at SMBs<\/a>.<\/p>\n We\u2019re witnessing a rapid increase in activity across the entire Apple integration space as MDM vendors strive to serve this expanding market<\/a>.<\/p>\n Please follow me on\u00a0Twitter<\/a>, or join me in the\u00a0AppleHolic\u2019s bar & grill<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Apple Discussions<\/a>\u00a0groups on MeWe.<\/em><\/p>\n http:\/\/www.computerworld.com\/category\/security\/index.rss<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Credit to Author: Jonny Evans| Date: Tue, 26 Apr 2022 07:46:00 -0700<\/strong><\/p>\n Jamf has announced a series of significant updates to Jamf Protect, introducing a unique set of technologies designed to make enterprise devices more secure while also identifying and responding to incoming endpoint threats.
