61 verifies that access is originating from an enrolled and trusted device, making identity and access management a cornerstone of your security strategy,” says Smeaton. “Endpoint security solutions, like Jamf Protect, add a safety net to macOS, iOS, iPadOS, Android and Windows devices to ensure that they are safeguarded against suspected threats through analysis of on-device and in-network threats. These provide faster detection, quicker incident response and effective, automated threat mitigation and remediation workflows that don’t compromise security, privacy or overall performance.” The University of Glasgow in Scotland uses both Microsoft and Jamf to manage and secure a fleet of Apple devices used by 8,000 staff members and 30,000 students. Jamf Connect and Jamf Protect are fully integrated with Entra ID and Microsoft Intune and report live into the security information and event management (SIEM) platform Microsoft Sentinel. “Jamf Protect is built on native-Apple frameworks providing a deeper level of understanding of logs and events that happen on device,” says Smeaton. “It pushes all Apple security data and events, as well as alerts allowing the university to seamlessly monitor and protect its Mac fleet through Sentinel, providing a unified view of security events across all endpoints and facilitates a more effective response to threats. This setup is ultimately what helped the university achieve its Cyber Essential+ certification.” This customer story exemplifies how integrations between Jamf and Microsoft solutions enable real-time reporting, improve identity management, security and compliance for IT, enhance security policies and enables seamless access control across its ecosystem.
