Windows has 80% of the enterprise market share, so companies aren’t going to put 100% of their resources into a product for only 20% of the market. Most of the endpoint solutions in the enterprise are focused on PC environments, so even if that have a Mac counterpart, it’ll be half baked compared to the Windows version. As someone who both manages Apple devices and loves using them, I was excited to hear that it would be natively integrated into macOS. It’s using Apple’s Endpoint Security Framework, so it’ll always be day-one ready for new versions of macOS. Fear not, as Jamf Protect works as a kextless agent and uses minimal resources. If you’re not in IT, you are probably hoping your IT department doesn’t install this software because it’ll mess with your machine. IT departments can receive real-time alerts to analyze activity on the device and choose whether to block, isolate, or remediate threats. Jamf Protect extends the built-in macOS security tools like XProtect and Gatekeeper for improved reporting, compliance, and security posture. Today, they have launched Jamf Protect, an enterprise endpoint protection solution build from the ground up for macOS. Jamf is kicking off JNUC 2019 today with some exciting announcements for IT departments who manage Apple devices in the enterprise and K–12.
