Speakers: Matthew Schnittker
Level: Fundamental, Lecture
Excerpt: Is MDM a requirement for managing your MacOS and iOS fleet? We were able to get by without it for a long time. However, we recently moved our organization to using MDM. This talk will cover our rationale for implementing MDM as well as how we were able to make the change with minimal impact to our users. We will touch on MDM, SKEL, DEP, and some security projects we implemented at the same time.
Description: We were able to effectively manage our MacOS environment without MDM for a long time. However, changes to the MacOS environment as well as some goals for user experience and security meant it was time to implement MDM. This talk will review our process of moving a medium sized organization from having no MDM solution in place to having MDM fully rolled on MacOS, iOS, and Windows. I’ll talk about our rationale for the move, how we implemented the change, as well as some other security projects we implemented at the same time such as certificate based network access, and moving away from IMAP mail access.
