What is Jamf Pro? #
Jamf Pro is an enterprise-level Mobile Device Management (MDM) tool that manages and secures Apple devices with advanced tools and integrations.
Why Should You Use the Jamf Pro Connector? #
The Jamf Pro connector provides visibility into devices and mobile devices managed by Jamf. You can use this visibility to:
-
ensure Jamf devices are managed per your security policies
-
ensure the latest Jamf agent is installed on each Jamf device
How Does This Connector Work? #
Meridian executes read-only requests to the Jamf REST API and ingests only meta-data about Jamf devices. Meridian does not share this meta-data with any parties outside of Meridian.
