Maintaining robust security while ensuring operational efficiency is paramount for organizations, especially those managing extensive device fleets. Enter Airlock Digital and Jamf Pro — a powerful integration that enhances security and streamlines management for macOS devices. In this blog post, we'll explore the benefits of integrating Airlock Digital's application control and allowlisting solution with Jamf Pro and how it can revolutionize your IT and security operations.

What is Airlock Digital’s application control and allowlisting solution?

Airlock Digital provides the best application control and allowlisting solution, not only for macOS, but also for Windows and Linux. Its coverage extends to legacy versions of these operating systems as well. It also incorporates advanced security measures to prevent unauthorized applications from running on your systems. This enables organizations to enforce strict application control policies, significantly reducing the risk of ransomware, malware and zero-day attacks. Simply put, if you don’t trust it — it doesn’t run.

What is Jamf Pro?

Jamf Pro is a comprehensive Apple device management solution that allows IT administrators to deploy, manage and secure macOS, iOS, iPadOS and tvOS devices. With Jamf Pro, organizations can automate device management tasks, enforce security policies and provide a seamless user experience.

The integration: Airlock Digital and Jamf Pro

Integrating Airlock Digital’s application control and allowlisting solution with Jamf Pro combines top-tier application control with robust device management. Here’s how this integration works and the benefits it offers:

Enhanced Security

  1. Application allowlisting: With Airlock Digital’s solution, you can create and enforce an allowlist of approved applications. This ensures only trusted software can run on your macOS devices, significantly reducing the risk of malware and unauthorized software.
  2. Application blocklisting: Organizations can create new or upload existing blocklists into the Airlock Digital solution. These blocklists explicitly deny execution, ensuring that even with an exception, software on this list can’t run in your organization.
  3. Automated policy enforcement: With Airlock Digital’s solution, IT administrators can manage policies across their entire macOS device fleet, ensuring consistent security measures are in place.
  4. Real-time threat detection: The Airlock Digital solution provides real-time threat detection and alerts, allowing IT teams to respond quickly to potential security incidents. This proactive approach helps mitigate risks before they cause significant damage.

Streamlined device management

  1. Centralized management console: With Jamf Pro, IT administrators can manage all devices from a single, centralized console. The integration with Airlock Digital’s solution adds an extra layer of security management, simplifying the oversight of both device and application control.
  2. Automated workflows: Automate the deployment and configuration of Airlock Digital’s solution on macOS devices using Jamf Pro. This reduces the administrative burden on IT teams and ensures that security policies are consistently applied across the organization.
  3. Simplified Compliance: The integration simplifies compliance with industry regulations and internal security policies. By ensuring that only approved applications run on devices, organizations can more easily meet compliance requirements and reduce audit overhead.

Improved user experience

  1. Seamless updates: Integrating Airlock Digital’s solution with Jamf Pro ensures that security updates and application allowlisting policies are applied seamlessly, minimizing disruptions to end users.
  2. Reduced downtime: By preventing unauthorized applications from running, the integration helps reduce system downtime caused by malware infections or other security incidents. This leads to a more stable and reliable computing environment for users.
  3. User-friendly interface: Both Airlock Digital’s solution and Jamf Pro are designed with user-friendliness in mind. The integration offers a streamlined interface, making it easy for IT administrators to manage security and device policies without extensive training.

Conclusion

Integrating Airlock Digital’s application control and allowlisting solution with Jamf Pro offers a powerful solution for organizations looking to enhance their security posture while streamlining device management. By combining robust application control with comprehensive device management, this integration helps organizations reduce risks, ensure compliance and improve overall efficiency.
