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

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.
