Jamf gets into AI, APIs, and advanced DDM

When device management gets smarter

The company says these APIs should help its platform become a dynamic and flexible foundation for innovation. In essence, it means developers, admins, and security teams can use Jamf’s APIs to streamline automation, ease integration, and help manage/secure Apple devices at scale.

The idea is that organizations using the Platform APIs can build management tools personalized for the needs of their specific environment. This could be of use to IT and security teams building custom workflows as well as helping technology partners seeking to extend what Jamf can do with their own products and services. MacPaw is at JNUC to show how CleanMyMac Business already benefits from Jamf integration.

There seems to be an emerging rule that nothing in tech can be said unless there’s some mention of artificial intelligence, and Jamf is keeping to that exhortation. The company gave security protection an AI boost with Security Skill in Jamf Protect. It’s an AI assistant designed to help security teams by analyzing telemetry and events logs to provide plain-language incident guidance they can use, hopefully accelerating response.
