Jamf Protect Overview

What is Jamf Protect?

JAMF is a popular endpoint security and device management system introduced for Apple. It makes it easy to manage Apple devices like iPhone, Mac, Apple TV and iPad. With Jamf, IT experts can manage the lifecycle of Apple devices. This includes managing and updating software, checking for security threats and analyzing inventory data. JAMF has come up with an endpoint security solution known as JAMF protect.

What is JAMF Protect Used For?

Hackers use different tactics to steal confidential data or manipulate employees into giving out sensitive data, making it easier for organizations and businesses to fall prey to cybersecurity threats.  Data is one of the valuable assets of a company and losing the data could put the entire business at great risk.

Therefore, it’s important to protect MAC devices from unauthorized user access and unwanted viruses. JAMF protect is designed to enhance Apple’s security features by integrating an endpoint security framework. The security platform can detect and prevent well-known adware, malware and ransomware from infecting your system.  

What Features Does JAMF Protect Offer?

JAMF protect offers a list of features. It provides real-time alerts on malicious applications or suspicious activity. It searches for potential threats and viruses that can undermine your system. Detailed analytics of malware and threats are recorded. You can track what’s running in the background to mitigate any sort of risks.

Moreover, it ensures the health of your system by sending immediate alerts whenever the devices deviate from OS hardening configurations. Jamf Protect also removes unwanted files and apps that can introduce risk to the system. Most Anti-viruses are built for windows-based platforms. But JAMF protect is exclusively built for MAC to specifically detect attacks and minimize intrusions.

To increase user experience, the security framework assures that users are aware of the actions taken by the application. When the system is being attacked, Jamf informs the users of the preventive actions such as moving the malware to quarantine, retrieving files that are necessary for investigation and minimizing dwell time.

The IT team behind the system is responsible for collecting data needed for compliance audits with minimal impact on the end user’s experience. End users who use USB devices have the leverage to monitor and control their usage. One can limit the device’s ability to access the USB device storage and can monitor files stored on the storage devices.

How Much Does JAMF Protect Cost?

Jamf offers a series of pricing plans to choose from. Each of the plans offers a 30 day trial period. The Jamf Business plan offers a complete security solution for enterprises. It’s compatible with macOS, iPad OS and tvOS devices.This plan includes features like having access to endpoint security, automated policies and identity-based access. It supports up to 25 users.
