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.

iOS 17 and iPadOS 17 offer new features that make work easier for frontline workers. Read this blog to find out how Declarative Device Management and Return to Service keep devices up to date and ready for action.

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

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.
