Jamf 170 Course and Exam: Modernize your Apple security knowledge!
The Jamf 170 Course is a security-focused, self-paced certification course and introduction to Jamf Protect.
Introducing the updated 170
Keeping devices secure, safeguarding user data and reporting on device security compliance is crucial to maintaining a healthy digital ecosystem. That’s why Jamf is excited to share a major update to the Jamf 170 Course; a security-focused learning experience for Jamf Protect and mobile device management.
The Jamf 170 Course is an introductory certification course focused on Apple security features, best practices in the enterprise, the macOS Security Portal and the Jamf Security Cloud portal. Like the Jamf 100 Course, the 170 is self-paced, available online and completely free. Whether you need to configure security baselines, report on out-of-date devices, block undesired web traffic or monitor device compliance, the 170 is the place to start.
What’s new in Jamf 170 Course
The original Jamf 170 Course focused on endpoint security with Jamf Protect for Mac. The updated version refreshes that content and adds coverage of Jamf’s network security framework through the Jamf Security Cloud portal, offering a more complete view of how to protect your environment. The course now includes 4 sections and 14 lessons with video tutorials, documentation, hands-on tasks, interactive labs and a practice exam to help you prepare for certification.
What’s in the Jamf 170 Course
