Mobile Device Attacks: Jamf Mobile Forensics with Chris Deane and Harry Jenkins

Jamf — Wed, 18 Mar 2026 10:00:00 GMT

Mobile device security is the biggest blind spot in most organizations, and most IT teams have no way to investigate when something goes wrong.

Chris Deane, Senior Sales Engineer for Jamf Security Products, and Harry Jenkins, Senior Sales Manager for Jamf Mobile Forensics, sit down with hosts Kat Garbis and Josh Thornton to talk through what actually happens when a mobile device gets attacked.

They cover the full picture: why MDM alone isn't security, how mobile threat defense stops most attacks but not all, and where Jamf Mobile Forensics comes in for the ones that slip through. Plus a deep dive into spyware — Pegasus (NSO Group), Predator (Intellexa), zero-click attacks, why journalists are targeted just as often as executives, and how Jamf Threat Labs builds detection rules for threats that have never been seen before.

Rather than replacing an existing VPN all together, Network Relay can work alongside it, securing admin specified destinations, helping modernize and better secure an existing infrastructure. Network Relay preserves the native Apple device experience that users expect. Some benefits are the support for app-specific, policy-driven tunneling, authenticated based on the hardware-attested device identity, ideal for Zero Trust as well as secure remote connectivity available out of the box.

I Have No Idea What Terraform Is - Infrastructure as Code for Mac Admins

Jamf — Fri, 19 Dec 2025 14:00:00 GMT

If you're clicking through Jamf Pro configs manually, you're about to learn why that's becoming a problem. Security teams are starting to ban console access. MSPs are wasting hours rebuilding the same configs for each client. And organizations scaling to hundreds of Macs are drowning in manual changes with zero audit trail.

Ryan Legg, Jamf's Solutions Engineer for Infrastructure as Code, breaks down how Terraform lets you manage your entire Jamf environment through code instead of clicking. Whether you're managing 50 Macs or 5,000, here's why this matters NOW.

34:00 Why Every Admin Should Learn This NOW - The Future is Code

37:13 Getting Started - Resources and Documentation

39:09 Wrap-Up - Where to Get Help

What You Learn:

4:45 "Treating your Jamf config like a software project" - what that actually means

18:20 Multiple admins can submit changes through pull requests - no more stepping on each other

24:30 MSPs: Stop rebuilding configs manually - use one Terraform module across all clients

30:10 - Small teams: Codify early so the next person doesn't start from zero

34:00 - "Organizations are requiring admins OUT of consoles" - security trend you need to know

I inherited a Jamf instance. Now what?

Jamf — Mon, 07 Jul 2025 13:25:00 GMT

Join host, Kat Garbis, with special guest, Matt Jerome (Sr. Engineer Desktops, Fanatics) to discuss a common scenario in the Mac Admin world: inheriting a Jamf instance.

You didn't build the Jamf Pro instance — someone else did. Perhaps they built it but not quite in the way you would have done it. Maybe the instance came through an acquisition, someone left the organization, regardless, this happens and is usually met with some questions and requires a strategy to navigate.

Matt Jerome has plenty of experience in this and created a process of how to navigate inheriting an instance. Matt shares steps he has found to be repeatable and guidance on how to make this as easy as possible.

Streaming logs and cmdReporter, with Dan Griggs

Jamf — Fri, 28 May 2021 21:18:40 GMT

Once upon a time, we tried to pipeline logs to centralized syslog hosts. And it was never great. Then, Apple gave us unified logging and the amount of logs skyrocketed. So the cmdReporter team took a step beyond that and built some amazing tooling to flow logs off Macs and into whatever SEIM an organization needs! Today, we talk with Dan Griggs about the philosophies, some of the tactics, and the massive case statements underneath cmdReporter! OK, so just kidding about the case statements but it was a super-fun episode!
