![]() Most employees want to do a good job, and they want to get things done in an efficient manner. Well, as Jamf CEO Dean Hager says, "People will find a way to be productive." Or, perhaps just shutting down apps that allow certain activities that might feel risky such as messaging or filesharing? ![]() And without industry-specific apps such as Adobe Suite for designers, Atom or Notepad++ for developers, or Salesforce for marketers- you won't get much done. Re-creating common productivity apps like email, word processing and spreadsheet software simply is not feasible. Okay, then- why not shut down all outside apps?įor the vast majority of companies, this won't work. This leaves organizations open to attack, and businesses can't afford to ignore this risk. And if IT gives employees free rein, it's easy for staff to download apps from unsafe sources, leaving them (and, subsequently, your network) open to phishing attacks- as well as their devices open to malware.Įven if employees are carefully trained to avoid dangerous domains and untrustworthy sources, if IT doesn't know an app is on a device, they can't ensure it's the most recent version or that it's received important security patches in a timely fashion. It's easy to see how this can happen without automated device management, even conscientious IT staff choosing well-known and trustworthy apps can lose track of who has what apps and what state they are in. According to a September 2022 study by the Ponemon Institute, 59 percent of respondents reported third-party vendors have caused a data breach at their companies. There are many ways that an organization's network and data can be compromised one of the most risky is third parties. Self Service is obviously a great tool for saving end-users waiting time, and for saving IT time they could be focusing on other work rather than installing applications.īut it's a lot more than that. It's also a way to empower and equip employees on the spot with the productivity tools they need. Self Service from Jamf is a curated app catalog- a powerful way to manage and secure third-party apps.
