What are Jamf Pro and Protect?

JAMF Pro is a mobile device management (MDM) solution specifically designed to efficiently manage Apple devices, such as iPhones, iPads, and Macs, in enterprise environments. It allows IT administrators to centrally configure and control multiple Apple devices, deploy apps and updates, set security policies, and monitor the status of each device.

JAMF Protect, on the other hand, is a security platform designed to protect Apple devices against cyber threats and attacks. It provides an additional layer of security by detecting and preventing malicious activity, such as malware and ransomware, in real time. It also enables security policy enforcement and security event monitoring on managed Apple devices.

Companies that don't have JAMF Protect, the security platform for Apple devices, face several potential dangers:

1. Malware Risk:

Without an adequate security solution, Apple devices can be vulnerable to malware attacks. This could result in the installation of malicious software on the devices, which can steal sensitive information, damage systems, or compromise user privacy.

2. Ransomware:

Ransomware is a form of malware that encrypts files on a device and demands a ransom to unlock them. Without JAMF Protect, businesses are at risk of ransomware attacks on their Apple devices, which can result in the loss of important data and significant costs to recover it.

3. Data Leaks:

Apple devices in business environments often contain confidential information or sensitive company data. Without an adequate security solution, there is a risk of this data being leaked or accessed unauthorizedly. This could have serious legal and reputational consequences for the company.

4. Regulatory Compliance:

Many industries have regulatory compliance requirements that must be followed to protect data privacy and security. Without a security solution like JAMF Protect, companies may struggle to comply with these regulations, which can result in legal penalties and reputational damage.

In short, not having JAMF Protect exposes businesses to a number of risks, including malware attacks, ransomware, data breaches, and compliance issues. Implementing a security solution like JAMF Protect helps protect Apple devices and ensure the security and integrity of business data.
