ATUS rolling out Jamf Pro for Apple devices

Western has begun using Jamf Pro enterprise mobility management to provide a comprehensive management solution for Apple macOS, iOS, and tvOS systems.

Jamf allows us to manage WWU-owned Apple devices proactively by maintaining systems and software, limiting exposure and responding to security threats, distributing settings, identifying potential and actual hardware problems, and analyzing inventory data. It enables us to deploy new operating system builds, applications, and the latest updates to Apple devices quickly and cost-effectively. This assures that every university-owned Apple device managed on our network can remain current and be protected from exploitation of software vulnerabilities. Additionally, it improves overall network security for campus. We are managing hundreds of devices already but we are in still in the early stages of this rollout.
