Unboxing a Managed Mac
See for yourself how quickly, efficiently and uniformly a brand-new managed Mac is configured for the user - with no IT knowledge required or any involvement from your IT team. This reduces the burden on your support staff, gets users working on their Macs more quickly and is also a great way of onboarding remote-based staff with either new or re-provisioned Macs.
Bolt-ons from Jamf
Because we’re using the best-in-class Jamf Pro MDM, we’re pleased to be able to offer these great products from Jamf as bolt-ons to our BusinessClass Managed Service:
Expand upon built-in macOS security tools to prevent malware and detect threats, and only for Mac.
Keeping your devices up-to-date
It’s more important than ever to keep the operating system and applications up to date on a Mac; to protect data, comply with industry standards, and achieve accreditations like Cyber Essentials, which tell others that cyber security is taken seriously.
Apple have made it even easier to apply important security fixes to macOS Ventura or later with the Rapid Security Response mechanism which significantly streamlines the installation process.
Keeping applications up to date is more difficult because of the various ways that an app can be installed on Mac, but thankfully our FirstClass Managed Service for education and BusinessClass Managed Service powered by Jamf Pro are here to keep the operating system and apps up to date on Mac.
