Apple IT and Security Experts Gather for the 14th Annual Jamf Nation User Conference to Hear the Latest in Security and Device Management
September 19 2023 - 10:00AM
Today, Jamf (NASDAQ: JAMF), the standard in managing and securing
Apple at work, kicked off its 14th annual Jamf Nation User
Conference (JNUC) both virtually and in-person in Austin, Texas.
Joined by key partners and customers including Apple, Google and
Microsoft, Jamf shared with the largest gathering of Apple admins
how its continuous product innovation is bringing together
management and security into one integrated platform.
“Jamf’s industry-leading Apple management and security
solutions, delivered as an integrated platform, help IT and
security teams deliver an experience that is loved by users and
trusted by organizations,” said John Strosahl, CEO of Jamf. "We’ve
said many times that when Apple innovates, Jamf celebrates. We are
so confident in Apple’s continued success that we believe Apple
will flip the market over the next decade and be the #1 end-user
technology used in the enterprise - and Jamf is the #1 partner to
help organizations succeed with managing and securing
Apple.”
This year’s JNUC theme focused on the power of AND. Jamf bridges
the gap between what Apple provides and the enterprise needs. It’s
bringing together management, identity and security required to be
successful with Apple at Work. It’s what Jamf calls Trusted Access
and it’s an outcome organizations can achieve when they manage and
secure their Mac and mobile devices with Jamf, regardless of if
they are for a person or a purpose.
Key highlights from JNUC 2023 include:
The Jamf Pro 11 series, which brings a
more modern, accessible UI, simplified onboarding and continued
support for Declarative Device ManagementJamf announced
the release of Jamf Pro 11, which introduces an entirely refreshed
user interface that improves accessibility with color changes, tab
support for navigation elements, and improved screen reader
behavior and easy shortcuts to many of the most popular workflows.
This new look will be extended to Jamf’s entire product portfolio
in the future, providing the consistent experience that users
expect.
Jamf Pro 11 also supports Apple’s Declarative Device Management
including new software update management workflows, which will
allow admins in Jamf Cloud to schedule and enforce the latest
software updates on managed devices by a specific date and time
automatically. Apple announced they are further enhancing
enrollment workflows with Account Driven Device Enrollment which
will be supported in Jamf Pro 11 for macOS Sonoma and iOS 17.
Additionally, Jamf Pro 11 includes a simplified and more
transparent onboarding experience for end users that allows them to
monitor app installation progress as they go about their work.
Better security hygiene with compliance and
vulnerability management workflowsJamf announced the
addition of a new compliance dashboard and vulnerability management
to Jamf Protect. Admins can now see the overall compliance status
of their environment at a glance. They are also able to easily see
which apps and OS versions in their environment are impacted by
known Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs), empowering them
to make smarter decisions around access policies and patching
priorities. Earlier this year, Jamf Pro added support for Rapid
Security Response updates to provide admins with complete
visibility and control over important security updates.
Streamlined user enrollment and single
sign-onJamf and its identity partners are at the forefront
of SSO Extensions. Earlier this year, Jamf introduced support for
Enrollment SSO with Okta. In addition, Jamf was also
first-to-market with support for Platform SSO with Okta. Enrollment
SSO and Platform SSO workflows deliver a next generation single
sign-on experience across Mac and mobile devices.
ZTNA now incorporated into Jamf ConnectSince
2018, Jamf Connect has helped organizations bring cloud identity to
the Mac. Now Jamf has enhanced Jamf Connect’s Identity and Access
Management (IAM) capabilities to include Zero Trust Network Access
(ZTNA) to provide least-privilege and high-performance connectivity
to cloud and on-premises data resources from macOS, iOS, iPadOS,
Android and Windows devices. This turn-key ZTNA solution leverages
next-generation networking technology that is easy to deploy while
providing welcomed user experience improvements for end users.
Replacing legacy VPNs, this solution is efficient, reduces cost,
and is far more secure through integrations with Jamf’s platform of
products.
Physical access with employee badge now informed by
device risk signalsThrough a partnership Jamf unveiled at
JNUC last year with SwiftConnect, Jamf has done away with physical
access badges, allowing Jamf customers to badge into buildings with
iPhone or Apple Watch. During the keynote, Jamf shared new
enhancements to its Employee Badge offering that allows Jamf to
send device risk signals or user events that will temporarily
disable an employee badge until the device is back in full
compliance. Jamf Employee Badge with Jamf Trust brings digital
trusted access policies to the physical world, ensuring that only
trusted users on secure devices are able to access buildings and
offices.
AI-powered functionality to help IT and security teams
work smarter not harderJamf announced its new AI-powered
support bot that will serve Jamf Nation, the largest community of
Apple admins in the world. This new chat interface brings together
Jamf’s online community, learning hub and technical documentation,
so that Jamf admins will be able to ask it questions and receive
answers to help resolve issues.
Jamf also shared its vision for how AI will continue to be
integrated into its security products. This new AI-powered
functionality takes detailed raw telemetry and security alert data,
applies the MITRE attack framework and summarizes a friendly
explanation along with recommendations for Jamf admins on how to
remedy security issues. This exciting feature will be integrating
within Jamf solutions in the near future.
Simplifying management and security for the
classroomJamf announced a brand new user interface for
both Jamf School and Jamf Teacher to add more efficiency and
visibility to the console, something that is essential for teachers
in the busy classroom. Additionally, Jamf is bringing its most
requested feature from Jamf Pro, App Installers, to Jamf School to
provide a more complete Mac management experience in the solution
designed specifically for education.
To further protect students and learning institutions, Jamf has
rolled out on-device content filtering within Jamf Safe Internet
for supervised iOS and iPadOS 16+ devices. This feature stops both
inbound threats and unsafe outbound activity while ensuring greater
privacy for students. Jamf is planning macOS support for on-device
content filtering later this year.
Jamf Pro and Jamf School now with StateRAMP Ready
statusJamf recently announced it is now delivering
StateRamp Ready instances of Jamf School and Jamf Pro in the United
States to give customers the confidence they need to comply with
industry standards. StateRAMP is a critical cloud security
assessment and authorization program designed to address the
specific technology and compliance requirements of educational
organizations and state and local governments.
