As Employees Continue to Work From Everywhere, Jamf Announces New Bring-Your-Own Device Offering to Help Organizations Secure Personally-Owned Devices While Preserving User Privacy
March 04 2022 - 10:00AM
Jamf (NASDAQ: JAMF), the standard in Apple Enterprise Management,
today announced it is rolling out a new offering to help
organizations manage and secure personally-owned devices that
employees bring to work, while upholding employee’s personal
privacy. Jamf’s new bring-your-own-device (BYOD) offering is
available now.
“The modern work world has changed dramatically in
that employees are working from anywhere and everywhere. At the
same time, employees are relying on personal devices they feel
comfortable on to access company resources,” said Dean Hager, CEO,
Jamf. “Because of this, organizations are now revisiting BYOD and
looking to strike the right balance between organizational security
needs and end-user privacy.”
Apple recently announced Service Discovery, a
feature that drives account-driven user enrollment, which is a
workflow that streamlines the way end users enroll their
personally-owned devices while also separating user data from
corporate data. This is done by associating a personal Apple ID
with personal data and a Managed Apple ID with corporate data and
also allows for limited management of devices using a set of
configurations that associate management with the user, not the
entire device. This workflow has many benefits, including:
- Improved security
because there is no organizational URL needed to enroll, meaning
less potential for a phishing attack.
- “Just right” IT
management where IT admins can still manage and secure
corporate data on the device by automatically deploying
configurations for access to Wi-Fi, VPN, Email and other corporate
services.
- Employee protection and
privacy by separating personal data from corporate data to
ensure preservation of the users' privacy, guaranteeing IT can only
manage corporate information and not access personal apps or
data.
- A streamlined
enrollment where users are empowered to enroll their
personal device into Jamf with a few simple clicks, through a
workflow that is familiar to them - using the Settings app on their
device.
“Workers don’t want to be over-managed, and IT
departments don’t want security breaches. To meet in the middle,
employers should find the sweet spot,” said Nick Amundsen, SVP,
strategy at Jamf. “In addition to creating a robust BYOD policy, an
MDM-enabled user enrollment service sets up both parties for
success. By separating user data from work data, employees are
encouraged to use their devices productively — without feeling as
though their privacy is being invaded.”
Jamf’s new BYOD offering is available now for
iPhone and iPad. Customers can access this offering through Jamf’s
Business and Enterprise plans at no additional charge, or for $6
per device per year.
