Jamf and Microsoft's seven-year history of strategic collaboration
Jamf's development relationship with Microsoft was established in 2017 to address the growing need to support Apple devices within organizations that rely on Microsoft platforms and services. Jamf was first to offer Conditional Access for macOS to enhance identity security, demonstrating its commitment to Microsoft-centric organizations and improving the security posture of shared customers.
Since 2017, Jamf has continued to develop a range of integrations with Microsoft enterprise tools, spanning across Entra ID, Sentinel, Defender, PowerBI and Copilot for Security, giving shared customers everything they need to manage, connect and protect their users 'Apple devices with Microsoft's critical infrastructure.
- Device management - Jamf and Microsoft Power BI provide insight, visibility, and interactive reporting to bring a deeper level of data analytics.
- Identity and access management - Jamf integrates with Microsoft Intune and Entra ID for better identity management, SSO capabilities, device compliance, and conditional access to ensure devices are protected and compliant right out of the box.
- Endpoint security - Jamf's plugin for Microsoft Copilot for Security streamlines how security analysts access MDM inventory and security telemetry data. Jamf Protect for Microsoft Sentinel pushes security-related telemetry data, alerts, and threat events directly into the Sentinel SIEM dashboard.
In 2023, Jamf reached another milestone, becoming a member of the Microsoft Intelligent Security Association. This enabled even deeper collaboration on security solutions between Jamf, Microsoft, and other MISA members to further benefit joint customers in detecting and responding to threats.
In 2024, Jamf was chosen as a participant in the Microsoft Copilot for Security private partner preview, which led to the availability of Jamf's plugin for Microsoft Copilot for Security, facilitating a more effective response to threats and a seamless collaboration between IT and Security teams.
