Tech partner spotlight: Jamf and AuthenTrend

The new challenge in enterprise identity security

As hybrid and remote work become the new normal, enterprise IT and security teams face mounting pressure to ensure device compliance, maintain identity integrity, protect against phishing attacks and secure access across distributed Apple environments. Legacy password systems no longer meet modern security standards — and create friction for both users and admins.

That’s where Jamf and AuthenTrend come together.

The Jamf and AuthenTrend Partnership

This partnership delivers a seamless passwordless fingerprint authentication experience for Apple devices by integrating AuthenTrend’s ATKey.Card NFC with Jamf’s endpoint and identity management platform. The result: secure, frictionless access across enterprise Mac fleets — without passwords or PINs.

Together, we help organizations:

Eliminate passwords and enforce strong identity controls

Leverage ATKey.Card NFC, a fingerprint-powered smart card that supports FIDO2, PIV and MFA, to deliver phishing-resistant access to macOS, web apps and cloud systems — all natively supported in the Apple ecosystem.

Secure digital and physical identity with one ESG-friendly card

ATKey.Card doubles as a digital business card and access badge, eliminating the need for multiple credentials while reducing waste and aligning with sustainability goals.

Simplify identity provisioning in Jamf-managed environments

Paired with Jamf and Azure AD (Entra ID), AuthenTrend enables secure, self-enrolled onboarding of new users — streamlining device access setup while maintaining enterprise compliance.

Improve compliance and audit readiness

Biometric login logs and access data can be centrally monitored via Jamf to ensure only authorized personnel access critical systems and to support Zero Trust security architecture.

Key benefits of the Jamf and AuthenTrend integration:

• Stronger security posture through phishing-resistant, passwordless login
• Streamlined onboarding with fingerprint authentication tied to Microsoft Entra ID
• Improved compliance with biometric logging and centralized identity control
• Sustainability with a multi-use smart card that replaces plastic badges and paper cards

How does it work?

Jamf administrators can deploy AuthenTrend’s ATKey.Card NFC as a secure method of login for macOS devices. Integrated with FIDO2 and Smart Card (PIV) protocols, the card enables users to unlock Apple devices, apps, and cloud tools using only their fingerprint — no passwords or mobile phones required.

AuthenTrend’s keys are recognized by macOS out of the box, allowing for native security integration without complex configuration. Paired with Microsoft Entra ID and Jamf Connect, organizations gain a full passwordless identity lifecycle from provisioning to deprovisioning, all while giving end users a fast, friction-free experience.

What can this partnership do for you?

With Jamf and AuthenTrend, organizations can elevate Apple device security, reduce identity-related phishing attack risks, and accelerate passwordless initiatives at scale. Whether you’re implementing Zero Trust or aiming to reduce help desk ticket volume, this partnership makes identity security intuitive, secure and scalable.
