Apple Business Essentials is Apple’s solution for businesses not quite ready for a full-fledged device management solution but would likely stick to “unmanaged” devices otherwise. I’ve said from the beginning of the release: Apple’s competitor for business essentials is unmanaged and devices that are not in compliance. Recently, CDW announced it would begin reselling Apple Business Essentials as well. For a limited time, they’re even offering two months for free.

Apple debuted physical security key support with iOS 16.3 and macOS 13.2 and the feature works great with iPhone, iPad, Mac, and the web. This feature is designed for those who want another layer of protection against targeted attacks such as phishing or social engineering scams. Especially if you’re in a position that would be targeted for attack (celebrity, C-level business executive, etc) then Security Keys are a smart addition to your overall account security posture. Let’s dive into how they work.

In this episode of Apple @ Work, I talk with Nadav Avni from Radix about the latest trends for retail organizations using iOS.

Something I’ve been saying to friends and colleagues over the past few months is the trend I see rising among IT professionals is the ability to fire a vendor at any given point. If you get to a place where you’re essentially locked into a vendor’s platform or product, you lose the upper hand when it comes to pricing when renewals come around. Even outside of pricing, if said vendor is no longer meeting your needs, you absolutely need the flexibility to deploy replacement solutions. With iOS 17, Apple’s Return To Service MDM feature gets a nice upgrade that will make it easier to change to new device management vendors.

When Managed Apple IDs were first released, I was highly critical of them. They were hard to create. They were hard to manage. To be frank, they were almost pointless as well. It’s a good thing Apple didn’t listen to me, though. Over the year, Apple has continued to add features to the Managed Apple ID ecosystem to make them easier to manage, but also more important.

When Apple unveiled Touch ID on the iPhone 5s nearly ten years ago, it wasn’t the first time devices had included biometric unlock options. Many business PC has included it prior, but this was the first time it came to a device meant for the masses. At the time, we were in the midst of moving to a world where the cloud became the center of our. computing world, so a lot of people questioned why Apple made such a big deal about Touch ID staying on device in a secure method rather than “syncing” to other devices. Apple had previously purchased a company known as AuthenTec in 2012 that became the foundation of Touch ID. Today, I want to consider how Apple’s early decisions with Touch ID led to a world where passwords are on the way out… for good.

I’ve often said that the Apple IT community is a tight-knit one. To be honest, most of us old-timers are still shocked at how quickly Apple has become one of the dominant endpoints in the enterprise. I can still remember back when Apple didn’t even support Microsoft Exchange. We’ve come a long way as an industry and as a community. Recently, Addigy released a new WatchDog utility aimed at resolving a lingering macOS bug, and instead of releasing it for its customers only – the company released a version that fixed the bug for everyone. It highlights the close-knit vibes of the Apple community and the benefits of Apple’s standardization of device management APIs.

Now that the Mac is a premier endpoint in the enterprise, it’s starting to move into the phase where it needs first-class tools for IT and security teams to gather data from the device. A newly available from Red Canary aims to make gathering endpoint data on macOS even easier.

Apple’s World Wide Developer Conference for 2023 has come and gone once again, and now we turn our attention to the summer of beta testing, preparing training, and more. I’ll be diving into many of these announcements in the coming weeks, but I want to run through the high-level updates that Apple IT administrators need to know for macOS Sonoma, tvOS 17, iOS 17, watchOS 10 (yes, Apple Watch is coming to MDM), and iPadOS 17.

In a fast-moving digital world, it can be easy to forget that behind every device, every system, and every line of code, there are people just trying to do their jobs. Security vendors have a responsibility to protect the IT environment and ensure that the machines are locked down as much as possible. On the other hand, IT professionals are constantly thinking about security and taking steps to protect their organizations from cyber threats. But where does Apple fit into this equation?

For the past few weeks, I’ve been testing the Aircove router with Express VPN built-in, and it has led me down a rabbit hole of wondering why more companies aren’t focusing on VPN technology at the router level – particularly with a focus on work from home.

Wi-Fi is a crucial part of any deployment, whether it’s for an enterprise or a K–12 school. Even the best iPad and Mac deployments can be ruined by poor networking, and Wi-Fi is an integral part of it. While the industry has undergone many changes in recent years through acquisitions and advancements, low-cost providers have emerged as reliable options. Ubiquiti has been the go-to low-cost networking provider for enterprises and schools for years, but there is a new player in the market that is challenging the status quo: TP-Link’s Omada platform. In this blog post, we’ll take a closer look at this powerful platform and explore why it has become a great alternative for enterprise and K–12 Wi-Fi.

We’re coming up on three years since Apple announced the end of the Intel era with a transition to Apple Silicon. Toward the end of 2020, Apple released its first computers running its M1 series chips, and it’s been off to the races since then. Recently, SAP reported that 50% of its entire Mac fleet is now running Apple Silicon-powered computers. Let’s dive into why this is a huge win for Apple, but also creates future challenges.
