Securing your mobile fleet, while sharing many similarities with desktop computers, may vary vastly depending on variables specific only to mobile technology. Mobile security requires nuanced approaches to prevent threats specifically targeting smartphones, tablets and mobile computers (laptops), and their users.

Learn about the basics of compliance in cybersecurity and why it is a crucial component of your organization’s security posture. Also, understand how achieving a balance between security and compliance is table stakes for regulated businesses and how critical factors like key regulations, industry standards and best practices, integrated alongside advanced technologies and security tooling, work hand in glove to benefit organizations while minimizing the risk of non-compliance.

It's never been simpler to redeploy devices or sanitize shared ones in a secure, efficient manner while ensuring they are reenrolled with your MDM solution, ready for new users. Learn more about how Apple’s Return to Service Command helps IT achieve this quickly and easily.

Threats don't sleep. They also don't discriminate against device types or target just one platform. So, why should your enterprise security strategy be any different?

Pro Tip: it shouldn't.

Bad actors are hoping you don't know this, but Jamf does. That's why in this blog, we discuss why it's critical for security solutions to support multiple platforms in order to be truly holistic and offer comprehensive protections against existing and evolving threats that target your fleet - not just one type of device on a single platform.

Threats impacting your cybersecurity defenses continue to grow and evolve from one type of form to another. Advanced Persistent Threats (APT) and converged threat types were already difficult to detect, and now existing threats, like Whaling, are getting supercharged by AI to become more efficient and scalable. In this blog, we delve into Whaling Phishing attacks:

• What Whaling attacks are?
• How do they impact cybersecurity?
• Provide examples of real-world attacks
• Breakdown the anatomy of a Whaling attack
• and discuss the different ways to prevent them

Understanding the security needs of an organization is only one component of maintaining a strong security posture. Knowing the risks that are unique to your organization and assessing them accurately are critical to the overall security posture as well.

In this paper, learn:

• What risk is and how telemetry data collected provides visibility into device health and overall security posture
• Why assessing risk must be performed at a regular cadence, iteratively as part of the security stack
• How this data aids your organization in not only determining its security needs but also how to use it to protect against current and future risks
• Why integrating risk data with endpoint security solutions helps organizations maintain a strong security posture while meeting compliance goals

Encrypting your data may seem like a foreign concept to some users. It may be the stuff of thriller-type novels and spy yarns. But the reality is that encrypting data is a fundamental security control that is built into every version of macOS (and iOS/iPadOS for that matter) that serves a singular purpose: keeping unauthorized users from accessing your personal, corporate and privacy data whenever your computer is not in use. As a matter of fact, the benefits combined with a dead simple setup make it a “no-brainer” for business and personal users alike, leaving users to wonder why they didn’t enable it sooner.

Managing and securing your most vulnerable endpoints, mobile devices requires more than just MDM or mobile threat defense solutions. Admins need to be able to converge these technologies as part of their existing security strategy to ensure a strong, organizational security posture.

In this blog, learn more about how the integration of macOS and mobile devices is the future but also key to holistic, endpoint protection strategies. Also:

• Insight into current mobile security challenges and solutions
• The importance of mobile-specific security measures
• An overview of holistic endpoint protection
• And best practices for mobile security policy implementation

Mobile Threat Defense solutions are all concerned with one thing only: ensuring the security of your mobile devices against malware, network-based attacks and the overall reduction of risk that modern-day security threats pose to the mobile user base.

In this webinar series, Aaron Webb explains what security frameworks are, their importance and explains the critical role they play when securing your organization’s environment. This includes the importance of establishing risk management and compliance best practices and how Jamf solutions brings together device management, user identity and endpoint security for a comprehensive security solution based on the security framework that meets your organizational needs.

AI is the latest industry buzzword making the rounds. But beyond the hype lies a technology that aims to provide so many benefits – from agriculture to healthcare – a veritable “sky’s the limit” awaits us. As with all things technology, there are some steep downsides to AI in the form of security risks, but fret not as we cover the most critical ones while providing a silver lining in the form of strategies that may be used to minimize risk to further promote safe, ethical usage of AI-based models.

The phrase “lightning never strikes the same place twice” is a commonly held belief that holds little grounding in science. In fact, lightning can and does strike the same place multiple times and nowhere is that as evident as Jamf solutions once again scoring top marks in G2’s Summer 2023 report.

While WWDC brings a number of exciting announcements for developers and users alike, impactful innovations in Apple’s longstanding mission to improve health and wellness were also visibly on display.

Following the release of the Jamf Security 360: Annual Threat Trends Report 2023, where we highlight security threat trends, we utilize threat intelligence gathered by Jamf to inform security professionals about which threats from the previous year most critically affected the enterprise.

Threat trends reveal how growing threats and attacks, particularly converging the two, are leveling up the tools available to bad actors to more successfully compromise devices, users and data while leaving administrators’ work cut out for them when trying to defend against increasingly complex, novel threats.

Apple’s Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC) shows how Apple is leveraging its five major platforms to advance Apple's adoption in the enterprise. Here are the ways Apple is pushing each platform forward to continue winning in the workplace.

An overview of the new operating systems, features and mind-blowing technology that was announced on day one of Apple’s World Wide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2023.

Cyber threats come from all sides. As bad actors continue to evolve their toolsets to more succinctly attack targets, organizations are faced with the challenges of preparing for threats while implementing mitigations to address them as quickly and efficiently as possible. One of the most critical are external threats originating from outside the organization – proving to be amongst the most common threat types and the most difficult to protect against – but not impossible to address with a holistic, comprehensive security strategy.

Following the release of the Jamf Security 360: Annual Threat Trends Report 2023, where we highlight security threat trends, we utilize threat intelligence gathered by Jamf to inform security professionals about which threats from the previous year most critically affected the enterprise. Preserving user privacy is a growing threat that the data supports and is the focus of this blog series. Understanding its criticality to endpoint security and identifying which data types are at risk helps IT and Security teams know what to look for and how to mitigate risk best.

Following the release of the Jamf Security 360: Annual Threat Trends Report 2023 where we highlight security threat trends, we utilize threat intelligence gathered by Jamf to inform security professionals which threats from the previous year most critically affected the enterprise. The data in this blog series helps inform IT and Security teams of the continued reliance on social engineering attacks by threat actors. Also, by identifying various attack types, like phishing and how they are leveraged, users can be better informed on how to spot these attacks and know how to prevent them from compromising devices, user credentials and sensitive data.
