<\/p>\n

Mosyle<\/a> is ramping up its wares with new security protections for iPhones and iPad adding more fuel to the\u00a0Apple-in-the-enterprise fire<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The company is unveiling its first endpoint security solution for IT admins overseeing fleets of mobile Apple devices.\u00a0The idea is that the product, Mosyle Hardening and Compliance, ensures that employee devices are protected, compliant, and following the latest cybersecurity benchmarks.<\/p>\n

\u201cOver the past few years, Mosyle has extended its reach beyond Apple device management and fused innovative endpoint security solutions into our platform,\u201d said Alcyr Araujo, founder and CEO at Mosyle.<\/p>\n

Apple\u2019s expanding place in the enterprise market is generating renewed interest among hackers in undermining the company’s security models<\/a> in the chase for money. Just last week, Apple identified and put protection in place against the ninth zero-day vulnerability used against iPhones this year.<\/p>\n

Araujo thinks enterprise adopted of Apple adoption is growing fast.\u00a0He recently explained<\/a>: \u201cEnterprise customers continue to expand their Apple fleets in ways that makes us believe we’re only now in the initial days of a migration era.\u201d<\/p>\n

There are numerous trends driving Apple\u2019s growth. These include the\u00a0consumerization of IT<\/a>, the move toward\u00a0employee choice<\/a>, Apple\u2019s reputation for security<\/a>,\u00a0product reliability<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0overall lower running costs<\/a>. Interestingly, Apple recently disclosed that more than half of the Macs it sold in the last quarter went to people new to the platform<\/a>, further suggesting the depth of Apple\u2019s renaissance.<\/p>\n

Mosyle cites its own 2022 research to support this, pointing out that 81% of employees rely on an iPhone at work, and 65% utilize an iPad device for business. The solution is part of the Moysle Fuse package, which the company introduced in May following its $196 million Series B funding round<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cLarger companies, after listening to employees\u2019 preferences and learning about the sophisticated enterprise tools offered by Apple and specialized Apple endpoint software providers, are starting to refresh PCs with Macs, which should continue for the coming years. Ultimately, Macs will become the leader in enterprise,\u201d Araujo said.<\/p>\n

One thing the remote-work transition<\/a> really has shown is the need to protect endpoints, that once outside of traditional perimeter security protections the iPhones, iPads, and Macs people use to get work done at home are vulnerable. At one point during the pandemic, it was shown that home Wi-Fi passwords<\/a> are not properly secured, which hopefully has changed<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Just like the industry, Apple is moving to address this<\/a>; tools such as Passkeys and new Apple APIs such as Declarative Device Management<\/a> and Managed Device Attestation<\/a> should all be seen as evidence it understands the need to make endpoints less vulnerable.<\/p>\n

Security functionalities in Mosyle Hardening and Compliance include:<\/p>\n

Security, particularly endpoint security, seems set to remain a very big differentiator between device management solutions for Apple. Already the industry seems split between three primary approaches:<\/p>\n

Such is the vibrancy of this space that it\u2019s predictable that we\u2019ll see more innovation and more acquisitions<\/a> take place as Apple becomes the dominant platform for the new workplace.<\/p>\n
