Cyberhaven and Jamf partner to deliver unmatched data security

Apple devices have become essential tools for the modern workforce. From engineers coding on MacBooks to designers creating campaigns on iMacs, macOS devices are embedded into daily workflows across industries. However, as Apple adoption continues to grow in the enterprise, so does the challenge of protecting sensitive data that moves across these devices every day.

This is where the partnership between Cyberhaven and Jamf changes the game. By combining Jamf’s market-leading Apple device management with Cyberhaven’s breakthrough data protection, organizations can achieve comprehensive security without interrupting productivity. Together, these two platforms empower security teams to protect data without compromising user experiences.

The challenges of securing data on macOS devices

Increasingly favored by workers across multiple industries for its blending of form and function, macOS devices introduce unique security considerations. Due to the reliance of interconnected apps, services and devices, users frequently move data between local applications, cloud services and personal devices to get work efficiently. Because of these workflows, traditional security tools often struggle to protect against insider risks and data exfiltration.

Many organizations face gaps when it comes to preventing data exfiltration to unsanctioned destinations, like:

• Wireless transfers via AirDrop to personal devices
• Copying company information to unmanaged USB drives
• Uploading proprietary data to personal cloud services
• Emailing sensitive files to external accounts

Without a solution that understands which data is sensitive and where it moves, organizations remain vulnerable to both accidental leaks and deliberate theft. Hybrid environments and BYOD models expand work beyond traditional security perimeters, making this true now more than ever.

Jamf’s role in device management and security

Jamf is the gold standard for managing and securing Apple devices at scale. Its platform enables IT teams to:

• Configure and deploy macOS devices seamlessly
• Enforce compliance policies
• Maintain visibility into device health and security posture
• Apply endpoint security features

With Jamf, organizations ensure their Mac fleets are properly configured, compliant and secured against software-level threats, like malware. However, protecting the data that users create, access and move on managed devices requires a specialized layer of visibility and control beyond traditional device management.

This is where Cyberhaven redefines data security.

Cyberhaven’s unique approach to data protection

Unlike traditional Data Loss Prevention (DLP) solutions that only monitor data at the point of exfiltration, rely on static policies or predefined classifications, Cyberhaven uses data lineage technology to trace information from its origin through every transformation. For example, if an executive accesses a confidential document outlining a non-public business acquisition, modifies it and then attempts to AirDrop it to a personal device, it recognizes the data’s origin and sensitivity in real time— even if the file is renamed, compressed or pasted into a new document.

Cyberhaven’s platform understands the context of accurately classified data based on its lineage – not just a file’s surface-level classification characteristics. It monitors and protects data across all major exfiltration channels, including:

• Web uploads
• Cloud apps
• USB transfers
• Email
• AirDrop

When risky behavior is detected, Cyberhaven not only blocks the exfiltration attempt but also educates the user on company policies in real time, delivering strong security without disrupting legitimate workflows.

Why Cyberhaven and Jamf are better together

Jamf ensures that macOS devices are properly managed, configured and secured at the endpoint level. Cyberhaven adds an integrated layer of data security, preventing sensitive information from leaving these devices in unauthorized ways.

Integrating Cyberhaven with Jamf delivers comprehensive visibility into data movement on managed devices. Enterprises get real-time protection against data exfiltration across all channels and reduce insider threat risk by enforcing policies in a way that educates users on best practices rather than simply blocking transfers. Together, Cyberhaven and Jamf provide the coverage organizations need to confidently enable data security and enforce compliance for Mac in any environment, especially regulated industries.

Delivering immediate value in real-world scenarios

An engineer working on proprietary software attempts to transfer the modified source code to a personal device via AirDrop. Cyberhaven identifies the source code’s lineage and blocks the transfer in real time, while Jamf ensures the device remains compliant and secured.

Similarly, an employee in a regulated industry tries to upload customer Personally Identifiable Information (PII) from their managed Mac to a personal Google Drive account. Cyberhaven prevents uploads based on the category of data sensitivity, while Jamf maintains endpoint configuration integrity.

The future of Apple device security

As threats evolve and the workforce becomes increasingly mobile, Jamf + Cyberhaven equip security teams with the visibility, control and precision they need to keep sensitive data safe without getting in the way of legitimate work.

By combining Jamf’s device management and endpoint security with Cyberhaven’s data protection and lineage-based classification, organizations gain a comprehensive approach to security that empowers employees and safeguards critical data holistically.
