### Addigy Security Suite: Boosting Apple Device Management with All-Encompassing Security Solutions
Addigy has positioned itself at the forefront of Apple device management, and its newest release, the Addigy Security Suite, is designed to further equip IT teams and managed service providers (MSPs) with improved security functionalities. By merging its device management platform with SentinelOne’s Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) and Managed Detection and Response (MDR), Addigy delivers a centralized console for compliance, endpoint safeguarding, and ongoing threat prevention tailored specifically for macOS settings.
#### The Increasing Demand for Security in Apple Settings
As per Verizon’s Data Breach Investigations Report, a notable portion of data breaches—30%—is due to misconfigurations, a figure expected to surpass 60% by 2029. With the rising use of Apple devices in corporate environments, organizations must implement tools that proactively tackle compliance concerns before they evolve into security threats.
Jason Dettbarn, Addigy’s Founder and CTO, stressed the significance of this integration: “With this launch, Apple devices are no longer a security gap. Addigy empowers IT teams and MSPs with the only fully integrated, reliable security solution that encompasses compliance, access control, EDR, and MDR—all specifically designed for the Apple ecosystem.”
#### Key Components of the Addigy Security Suite
The Addigy Security Suite is crafted to deliver robust security for macOS fleets, including:
– **SentinelOne EDR**: Provides real-time defense against malware and ransomware, offering insights into attack progressions and automated remediation features.
– **SentinelOne MDR**: Ensures round-the-clock Security Operations Center (SOC) analyst support directly for Apple devices, guaranteeing persistent monitoring and response capabilities.
– **macOS Conditional Access**: Implements zero trust policies to safeguard access to critical data and applications.
– **Automated Compliance Remediation**: Establishes self-correcting policies that automatically resolve compliance matters.
– **Audit-Ready Reporting**: Offers dashboards that facilitate the easy export of reports adhering to standards such as SOC2, CIS, and NIST.
#### Partnership for Improved Security
Tracy Ryan, AVP of Global MSSP/MSP at SentinelOne, underscored the importance of this collaboration: “Security should never be an afterthought, particularly for Apple environments that have been largely neglected. By collaborating with Addigy, we’re simplifying it for IT teams and MSPs to implement SentinelOne’s EDR and MDR across macOS fleets in just a few clicks.”
This API-driven integration is developed to offer seamless, high-impact protection, enabling IT teams to secure Apple devices with the same efficacy as other platforms within their ecosystems.
#### Conclusion
As Apple continues to refine its enterprise functionalities regarding identity, compliance, and deployment, the role of third-party vendors like Addigy becomes progressively crucial. The Addigy Security Suite exemplifies how partnerships between vendors can successfully fill security and compliance voids, ultimately supporting IT teams and organizations. In a landscape where device management is merely one aspect of the equation, such integrations are vital for effectively managing Apple devices in contemporary IT settings.
