Tech partner spotlight: Jamf and Tines
Manage endpoint compliance, enforce security policies, and secure devices across large, diverse fleets with Jamf and Tines.
With the shift to remote and hybrid work, organizations face unprecedented challenges in managing endpoint compliance, enforcing security policies, and keeping devices secure across large, diverse fleets. IT and Security teams are stretched thin, often spending significant time manually managing device security checks, software updates, and patch deployment.
The Tines and Jamf partnership
This partnership provides a streamlined workflow solution for managing Apple devices in enterprise settings by extending and enhancing Jamf’s capabilities.
Together, we empower organizations to:
Automatically verify device compliance and enforce security standards.
Tines pages enable teams to look up device information on demand in Jamf and surface relevant compliance data. By automating checks for security-critical software on newly enrolled devices, Tines ensures that compliance is monitored across tools, not just within Jamf, and delivers actionable notifications in tools, like Slack, to close gaps faster.
Efficiently manage and remediate lost or compromised devices.
With Tines, users can report lost devices via a simple workflow that integrates Duo Security for user verification. The system locks the device in Jamf, preventing unauthorized access, while creating a Jira ticket to track resolution—seamlessly connecting users and IT teams. DuoSecurity or Jira could easily be replaced with a relevant tool from your stack.
Optimize macOS software updates with a self-service approach.
Tines augments Jamf’s patch management capabilities by automating the lifecycle of macOS updates. Users can opt-in and out of pilot testing groups via Tines pages, allowing IT teams to validate updates with early testers before broad rollout. This approach minimizes downtime, reduces vulnerabilities, and balances stability with user empowerment.
Key benefits of the Jamf and Tines partnership:
- Enhanced compliance and security: Conduct endpoint compliance checks, security patches and software updates across devices; this minimizes security gaps.
- Improved operational efficiency: Reduce the time and resources required for endpoint management, allowing IT teams to focus on higher-priority tasks.
- Faster threat response: Enable fast detection and remediation of security risks, improving the organization’s security posture.
How does it work?
Jamf customers can use Tines for workflow orchestration and automation—reducing manual tasks and increasing the speed at which IT and security teams can enforce endpoint security and compliance.
Within Tines, users can execute tasks like provisioning devices through Jamf, verifying installed security software, and responding to compliance violations in real time.
Tine’s macOS Patch Management automation, written by MyFitnessPal, streamlines the entire lifecycle of managing software updates for macOS operating systems. It includes a self-service implementation of opting in and out of the patch management pilot group via Tines pages and a ring 0/ring1 approach to distributing macOS operating system updates. Updates are initially pushed to the pilot group for testing, and after a week, they are rolled out to the production group. This automation neatly balances user empowerment, system security and stability, and overall reduction of our company's attack surface.
What can this partnership do for me?
The partnership of Tines and Jamf enables IT and Security teams to manage and secure Apple devices more effectively, reducing manual work and boosting operational efficiency. Together, Tines and Jamf empower organizations to meet the challenges of endpoint security at scale, achieving a secure, compliant, and streamlined device ecosystem.
