Privilege Elevation in Jamf Connect for macOS grants temporary and conditional access to admin privileges

Jamf introduced Privilege Elevation, a new feature that leverages an organization’s cloud identity provider and Jamf Connect to temporarily allow admin privileges for local macOS accounts to be granted conditionally based on valid user authentication and authorization. During this period of time, through an integration with Jamf Protect, Jamf will provide detailed telemetry about highly privileged tasks being performed on the device. This helps organizations audit endpoint activities while aiding with intrusion detection and response on macOS.

App Version Control within App Installers keeps apps updated and protected

Jamf highlighted new improvements made to App Installers with the recent introduction of App Version Control. This update gives admins more authority over App Installers deployments allowing them to test a version on a small group of devices and then manually choose the version to deploy to computers in scope when they are ready. The ability to choose either automatic or manual updates to specify the version gives the admin control and flexibility over the App Installers titles in their environment, keeping users productive with the business-critical apps they need while remaining secure and up-to-date. 

Jamf continues to innovate at the speed of Apple with support for modern device types

Jamf recapped its recent announcement that support for Apple Vision Pro is now available across the whole Jamf platform. With Jamf Pro, organizations can enroll and streamline deployment of enterprise apps and settings for Apple Vision Pro. Jamf Connect allows users on Apple Vision Pro to securely access enterprise resources for any of the web and native apps that require secure, identity-based access controls. Jamf Protect extends the same device-wide mobile threat defense, network protection, and content filtering use cases used on iPhone, iPad and Mac to Apple Vision Pro to keep the device safe from threats.

Jamf also announced support for watchOS management is coming later this year, including enrollment and inventory display. By enabling new device types, Jamf shows its commitment to simplifying Apple at work and giving end users the ability to be productive however they work best.

New ‘balanced privacy’ reporting for Jamf Safe Internet provides visibility needed to resolve security issues while maintaining student privacy

For education customers, Jamf announced new privacy controls have been added to Jamf Safe Internet to provide two reporting options to admins: ‘full privacy’ and ‘balanced privacy’. By default, full privacy mode is enabled (meaning no Personal Identifiable Information is collected and reports stay aggregated and anonymized) but admins with appropriate permissions will able to toggle to balanced privacy mode. This reporting mode displays specific devices and usernames collected from Jamf Pro or Jamf School if they have been impacted by a security issue, enabling admins to quickly resolve issues without needing the full-visibility approach of traditional web proxies offered by other vendors.
