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

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.
