Join our co-hosts Sean Rabbitt and Kat Garbis to unpack a common theme "good enough." With guests Marcus Ransom and Kyle Randall (Jamf Solution Engineers), unpack when “good enough is good enough” and when it is problematic.The team talks through real life scenarios about where they have found good enough to be good enough, but also problematic in the long run.Important findings are that some folks, often don’t realize there are other options and are going off limited knowledge. That leveraging a subject matter expert could be beneficial in making things more secure and streamlined in the long-run with less issues along the way.The team also discusses ways they have consulted in better ways and approaches to improving technology environments as well as risks of not keeping technology best practices current.The team closes out with asking “what kind of work do you want to do?” as no matter what, whether ripping out an out-of-date frame work requires some upfront time investment, but so does a critical problem down the road.Sean unveils the latest technology tip at the end.

So we finish writing some sweet line of code and it just magically shows up in our cloud and on prem instances, right? Obviously not! But how does the machinery work? What are some of the controls we implement to make sure we ship good software? What part does compliance play? Luckily Jon Miller, the Senior Release Manager at Jamf, agreed to join us for this episode - where we unpack all this and more!
Jamf has always been a leader in Mac management for education. We continue to improve our footprint and hopefully impact in that space.

Malware. It happens. And when it does, we're really lucky to have a global community of security researchers that help identify, reverse engineer, and mitigate the impact of these nasties.

Once upon a time, we tried to pipeline logs to centralized syslog hosts. And it was never great. Then, Apple gave us unified logging and the amount of logs skyrocketed. So the cmdReporter team took a step beyond that and built some amazing tooling to flow logs off Macs and into whatever SEIM an organization needs! Today, we talk with Dan Griggs about the philosophies, some of the tactics, and the massive case statements underneath cmdReporter! OK, so just kidding about the case statements but it was a super-fun episode!
What does the rest of 2021 have in store for security on Apple devices? What's the top thing Apple admins need to know about the state of security for the platform? What really defines crafty? And what face tattoos should we get?!?!

She was kind enough to join the podcast for this latest episode talking through Jamf Now, some stats on the state of affairs for small businesses, and one more thing... a marketing tip for any small business owners listening in!
Annie and Charles are joined by Daniel MacLaughlin to tell us a little about what it's like jetting around the Asia Pacific countries, deploying all the things - and of course we get him to tell us about snakes and the creative naming schemes Australians use for them (which is not unlike many a naming scheme used for packages over the years)!

Jamf has had a relatively smooth process in what seems fast approaching to be the "new normal" in the business world: working from home. So we were pretty stoked that Garrett Denny and Allen Houchins could join us on the podcast to take us through what steps had been taken before and after sending the company to work at home.
