Why is security extra important?

Why is security extra important?

When you're buying new devices for employees, they're not set up correctly right away. For example, important security functions like encryption are turned off or a device isn't up-to-date. A lost MacBook or iPhone is already enough for a data breach that way. Attackers are also targeting these Apple devices more often. With Jamf, you can quickly see which devices aren't complying with the security regulations of your company. You can easily adjust this, without going through every device manually.

Jamf in practice

Roll out many devices at a time

Roll out many devices at a time

Jamf is valuable in situations that take a lot of time or pose security risks. For example, rolling out MacBook models for new employees. You can decide which apps, settings, and security protocols are part of a job role or department beforehand. As soon as a colleague turns on the MacBook for the first time, it's set up correctly right away and the employee can get to work safely.

Manage employee devices

Even with common support questions, Jamf helps you work faster and more securely. For example, you can easily reset a forgotten password or add specific company apps to many devices remotely. Or you can delete an app if it poses a security risk to employees. That way, you prevent manual work per device and everyone works with the same security protocols.

Prevent and solve problems with devices

Jamf is also useful is Apple devices from employees aren't accessible anymore. For example, if a device is still connected to an old account that the information isn't known of anymore. With the right setup, you prevent these types of blockages and maintain a hold on which devices are connected to which users and settings.
