Jamf Showcases New Functionality for Simplifying the Way Work Gets Done During Special Event
April 25 2023 - 9:15AM
Today, Jamf (NASDAQ: JAMF), the standard in managing and securing
Apple at work, held a special Jamf Event to showcase a number of
new offerings it has developed to help organizations deliver an
enterprise-secure, consumer-simple environment that protects
personal privacy. The forty-minute, live-streamed event is full of
updates aimed at helping businesses, schools, and government
entities succeed with Apple and also secure Android and Windows
devices, regardless of their size or deployment requirements.
“In 2022, Mac, iPad and iPhone all experienced substantial gains
in market share worldwide, as more and more people embrace using
the same technology as both a consumer and as a worker — whether
their employer provides a Choose Your Own Device program or as part
of a Bring Your Own Device initiative,” said Dean Hager, Jamf CEO.
“In either case, Jamf offers the right balance of simplicity,
privacy and security. And with work-from-anywhere models here to
stay, empowering users to help themselves, and empowering IT and
InfoSec teams to serve their customers without ever needing to
physically touch devices has never been more
important.” Simplified user access with new
functionality and key partnerships Many organizations
struggle to provide secure and seamless access to apps and
resources. Jamf Connect has been chosen by over 7,000 organizations
as of December 31, 2022 to streamline their provisioning, account
management and authentication especially as remote work has become
a mainstay. To continue to help simplify the way work gets done,
today Jamf announced:
- Jamf Connect now includes zero trust network access
capabilities, including auto-activation after setup - This
addition helps organizations deliver a complete, user-first
identity and access management solution for its devices by enabling
remote access from anywhere, while eliminating all of the friction
and frustration associated with traditional VPN. Jamf Connect
enables narrow access to only the specific apps and resources a
user needs for their role – no matter if that app is on-premise or
in the cloud – dramatically improving data security. Jamf also
announced the integration of Jamf Connect’s out-of-the-box macOS
account provisioning experience with Jamf Trust to automatically
activate a secure network connection by the time the user finishes
the macOS setup assistant. This means that through a single login,
a user’s local macOS account with cloud identity credentials is
created and their network access is ready-to-go for instant
connectivity to the apps they need to be productive. This
integration will be available this summer.
- Continued momentum to deliver the future of identity on
Apple devices with strategic partner Okta - With Apple’s
Platform Single Sign-On, Jamf and Okta together deliver
best-in-class Identity security for macOS devices. Platform SSO
enables Okta password sync which activates Okta Verify and Okta
FastPass on the device, while Jamf Connect delivers secure
provisioning of local macOS user accounts using Okta credentials.
With Enrollment Single Sign-on, Jamf takes a major step forward to
simplify the account-driven user enrollment on-boarding process
while dramatically enhancing login security on BYO devices. This
means after enrollment, users are able to enjoy fast and secure
logins using FaceID or TouchID to all of their company apps on
their personally owned device using Okta.
- General availability of Employee Badge with Jamf Trust
- At JNUC, Jamf demoed and unveiled a partnership with
SwiftConnect that places digital employee badges in digital wallets
making poorly secured, easily misplaced physical access cards a
thing of the past. Jamf support for Employee Badge with Jamf Trust,
powered by SwiftConnect, is available today for iOS and coming soon
for Android.
Updates to ensure full protection against malware and
user-initiated attacks Last fall, Jamf brought a
major advancement to macOS endpoint visibility with the addition of
telemetry to Jamf Protect. This enhanced visibility helps
organizations achieve compliance and investigate any issues that
may arise. Earlier this year, Jamf also expanded Jamf Protect to
include mobile threat defense capabilities. According to
Jamf’s Security 360 Report, in 2022, 31% of
organizations had at least one user fall victim to a phishing
attack. These device-wide protections come at exactly the right
time, helping organizations prevent these growing threats facing
users. Today, Jamf also announced:
- New conditional access controls with three of the
industry’s largest providers: Microsoft, Google and Amazon
- Jamf’s Microsoft Device Compliance integration allows
organizations to extend access controls across the entire Azure
Active Directory workflow, bringing powerful and granular access
controls to company resources. Building on the momentum of our
Microsoft partnership, Jamf Protect also integrates with Microsoft
Sentinel. This integration enables organizations to seamlessly
monitor and protect their Mac fleet through the Microsoft Sentinel
platform, providing a unified view of security events across all
endpoints and facilitating a more effective response to threats.
Jamf also integrates with Google BeyondCorp for macOS, and new
today, announced that it has extended this same compliance and
compromise protection to iOS and iPadOS devices. Jamf also
integrates with AWS; with AWS Verified Access, organizations using
AWS and Jamf can verify that devices are managed and meet an
acceptable risk threshold before providing access to AWS apps,
instances or workloads.
- Seamless platform integration for real-time access
policies - In addition to the protections that conditional
access workflows offer for authentication events, Jamf’s access
policies dynamically react the minute that Jamf Protect detects a
risk. That means Jamf is able to respond to threats in real-time,
stopping access to sensitive resources the minute a risk is
detected by shutting down the user’s secure connection. Jamf also
introduced a new enhancement that allows organizations to detect if
a user ever disables their secure connection and immediately
suspends their access. Jamf will send the user a push notification
and even display a notification in the browser, letting them know
that access to a particular resource requires a secure
connection.
New updates to help IT manage organizational fleets
efficientlyJamf is always focused on improving the tools
it provides to IT so they can better manage and secure
organizational devices while empowering their end users to do their
best work. In today’s event, key updates announced include:
- Jamf Remote Assist - This new Jamf Pro
feature, coming this summer, will allow admins to initiate a
secure, remote desktop session directly in the Jamf Pro UI,
regardless of where users are working, simplifying admin workflows
and supporting a better remote and hybrid work experience for end
users.
- A new automated solution to create and manage unique
local administrator passwords per each managed Mac with Jamf Pro
- With the increasing risk of unauthorized access to
sensitive data or systems, having unique local administrator
passwords for each device is crucial to improving overall security
if and when local account credentials are needed. Now, the password
of a managed administrator account can be randomized at the time of
enrollment. This automated approach allows organizations to
maintain operational security, comply with regulations, and improve
efficiency when working with an IT-managed administrator
account.
- Updates to App Installers for better app safety
- Jamf launched end-user notifications, allowing IT to
notify users when an update is available for a software title
deployed using App Installers. And coming this summer, Jamf Pro
will offer the option to distribute App Installer titles via Self
Service and allow users to install whenever they are ready. Once a
user installs the application, App Installers will continue to keep
that app title automatically up-to-date with the latest software
version.
Empowering dynamic student learning while keeping them
safeJamf launched Jamf Safe Internet, the best in class
web content-filtering and threat prevention solution that is
tailor-made for education, in 2022. Jamf Safe Internet has been
adopted and leveraged by more than 400 schools as of December 31,
2022 to ensure students stay safe and focused on the tasks at hand.
Earlier this year, Jamf Safe Internet became available for
Chromebook. Today, Jamf announced:
- Jamf Safe Internet is coming to Windows PCs -
Schools using Windows PCs will be able to deploy Jamf Safe Internet
to their fleet starting this summer.
- On-device web content filtering, built for Apple, is
now part of Jamf Safe Internet - Jamf continues to build
privacy protections by adding on-device web content filtering
specifically built for Apple.
“We at Jamf bridge the gap between the great innovations at
Apple and what businesses and schools require - and we have always
been Apple-first,” said Hager. “But after establishing the
foundation and support for new Apple workflows, Jamf is broadening
the reach of several of our security products for institutions that
may not be Apple exclusive. Whatever your device ecosystem and size
of deployment, Jamf is here to help you maximize your technology
investment and power your end users.” About
JamfJamf’s purpose is to simplify work by helping
organizations manage and secure an Apple experience that end users
love and organizations trust. Jamf is the only company in the world
that provides a complete management and security solution for an
Apple-first environment that is enterprise secure, consumer simple
and protects personal privacy. To learn more, visit
