Jamf celebrated our 20-year anniversary on June 10, 2022. Thank you, Jamf Nation, for helping us to grow and reach so many milestones along the way!

Secure connectivity has always been a cornerstone of endpoint security. Enterprise VPN, the long-ruling king of securing communications, faces new challenges that the aging protocol has trouble addressing – both effectively and efficiently – in modern-era computing environments.

In this blog, we discuss:

• The dawn of VPN
• What concerns it addressed
• New challenges and security threats
• How ZTNA handles legacy & current issues

A patch to Windows Server released in November 2021 to fix CVE-2021-42287 inadvertently broke binding of macOS devices to Microsoft Active Directory. Microsoft released a new patch on April 12, 2022 to the release channel for Windows Server to solve the problem. Administrators are encouraged to install and vigorously test a development environment if your organization binds macOS devices to Active Directory.

In this session from Bett 2022, Jamf systems engineer Scott Mackay gives advice on combining Jamf Pro with the latest functionality of macOS Monterey and Apple School Manager for rapid and stress-free deployments.

In this edition of the macOS Security Basics series, we dive headfirst into the battle between Virtual Private Networking (VPN) and Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) to determine which of the two technologies is best suited to securing your network communications across your entire device fleet based on how they function, their features and capabilities at keeping traffic safe from bad actors.

Identity and access management (IAM) tools are critical to making sure that the right users can access the right applications and data. Learn about some of the key Apple IAM integrations available in the Jamf Marketplace.
