Mrz 01, 2024 | Harshita B
Ransomware, Password Attack, Phishing, and Malware are terms that give IT admins a nightmare. Securing digital assets, whether for businesses or individual users, is crucial, with 98% of web applications vulnerable to attacks. If there are no measures to stop harmful apps from being downloaded on your work or personal devices, it can be very risky. While Mac devices are known for security, they aren't invincible. Securing your macOS devices not only means protecting against external threats but also fortifying the devices from within.
This is where implementing a UEM solution like SureMDM can prove extremely beneficial for your organization.
Latest Security Enhancements of SureMDM for Macs
SureMDM, a comprehensive Unified Endpoint Solution (UEM) solution, offers a wide range of features to manage and secure your Mac devices and apps. With the latest enhancements, the newly added 'Security' section enables admins to configure Gatekeeper settings and other security configurations running on macOS devices.
1. Support for Gatekeeper Configuration
The latest security enhancement empowers IT administrators to define the types of app downloads that are allowed to run on the macOS device, i.e., admins can enable/disable app downloads from the App Store, a combination of App Store and Identified developers, or anywhere. To make this ironclad, admins can also prevent users from overriding the configured settings. This level of control ensures that only trusted and verified apps are running on Mac devices, reducing the risk of security threats.
2. Other Security Settings
Admins also have the option to configure password prompts after activating screen lock or screensaver. They can also choose whether employees can unlock their Mac devices using Apple Watches, balancing convenience with security. Enabling this option offers a seamless and faster login experience as well as protection against shoulder surfing. On the other hand, disabling it reduces the risk of login due to unauthorized Watch access. SureMDM offers the flexibility for admins to choose what works for their organization.
This enhancement offers a multitude of benefits for IT administrators responsible for managing Mac devices and app security.
From granular app control to enhanced user experience, SureMDM has it all!
