JAMF Software Announces New Cloud Services that Reduce IT Effort to Update Applications and Ensure Organisational Security

JAMF’s Cloud Services Include a First-of-its-Kind Patch Management Solution for the Mac
SYDNEY – Aug. 3, 2016 – JAMF Software, the leader in Apple device management, today announced a new release of Casper Suite (https://www.jamfsoftware.com/products/casper-suite/), which includes cloud-based content distribution and patch management services. This release also improves enterprise integration, combining the benefits of cloud-based management with a seamless user experience.
JAMF’s focus on cloud-based device management aims to radically simplify the most frequent and time consuming IT tasks, including software deployment and patching. With JAMF’s cloud distribution service, IT can easily distribute software packages regardless of what network or location they are connecting from.
The latest release of Casper Suite also includes a first-of-its-kind patch management solution. By subscribing to JAMF’s cloud patch service, IT will automatically receive notifications when a third-party patch is available. This eliminates the time consuming, manual processes associated with patching software for the most widely used applications (i.e. Microsoft Office 2016, Adobe Creative Cloud, and Google Chrome and more), so IT no longer has to spend time searching for patches and can focus on more strategic priorities. Armed with this information, IT can take action by making a patch available to users through JAMF’s Self Service (http://www.jamfsoftware.com/products/casper-suite/self-service/) application, or by pushing a patch to install automatically. Both methods help ensure all third-party applications are current and organisations are secure from software vulnerabilities.
“This new feature will be a game changer for many of us,” said Mike Morales, Senior Mac Systems Engineer, Worldcom Exchange Inc. “It will handle 90 percent plus of the now manual patching we need to do. Pure brilliance.”
“Patching third-party software can be a tedious and manual process, requiring significant time and resources from IT,” said Dean Hager, CEO, JAMF Software. “JAMF reimagined this process, giving IT organisations an automated way to combat security vulnerabilities. It ensures end users always get the latest and greatest software without disrupting their work, ultimately making them more productive.”
With a new data centre located in Frankfurt, Germany, companies now have their data hosting region of choice in the U.S. or E.U. JAMF also encourages customers to leverage Casper Suite to test the macOS Sierra and iOS 10 betas in preparation for general availability this fall.
