Today, Jamf (NASDAQ: JAMF), Apple’s standard for managing and securing the workplace, rolled out new updates to Jamf Protect to meet the requirements of new Executive Order 14028 to improve the nation’s cybersecurity. These updates make Jamf Protect a more powerful macOS security solution for organizations with high compliance requirements, such as B. Government Agencies.
“Our mission at Jamf is to bridge the gap between what Apple offers and what the company needs. Today we are pleased to announce these updates to Jamf Protect, which provide security teams with the comprehensive audit telemetry they need while meeting the most stringent data processing requirements for organizations with high compliance requirements,” said Michael Covington, vice president from Portfolio Strategy, Jamf.
Key Jamf Protect enhancements announced today include:
Endpoint telemetry to meet audit standards
Jamf Protect now collects critical data required for incident investigations to meet the most stringent logging and auditing standards, including those outlined in new Executive Order 14028 (EO M-21-31). This additional capability gives organizations the tools needed to collect the necessary endpoint telemetry and stream that data to customer-owned data repositories and SIEMs. This feature, previously included in Jamf’s Compliance Reporter, is now available to all Jamf Protect endpoint security customers.
Robust security telemetry for threat hunting
Extensive telemetry data, including system data, threat detection logs, and network traffic details, enable security administrators to monitor macOS computers in their environments and scan for threats. Threat hunters will be able to analyze macOS activity logs in near real-time with a single endpoint agent.
Endpoint telemetry with offline mode
Jamf Protect’s new offline deployment mode is for customers with high compliance requirements. This deployment model for streaming telemetry provides an option for organizations that need to meet the most stringent standards of data collection for internal audit and do not require cloud-based services.
With these updates, Jamf Protect provides the essential building blocks needed to achieve the highest level of security for macOS, all on one platform, including:
Best-in-class malware protection
Integrated network threat protection and content filtering
Endpoint telemetry that enables investigation, analysis, and proactive threat hunting
Integrated compliance reporting
Offline mode to support non-cloud workflows
