Kandji

We’re expanding the magic of Kandji to an AI-powered platform that unites identity & access, cross-platform endpoint security & management, and compliance automation. Kandji was built as the best Apple endpoint solution on the market; using abstraction to remove complexity and automation as a force multiplier. As Kandji, we saw teams stitching together point solutions, with no shared context or single view. We knew there was a better way. Kandji is now Iru. We are still committed to delivering the best Apple solutions on the market, but now expanded as Iru. Built for the AI era, Iru collapses the stack of tools organizations rely on to secure their users, apps, and devices. Iru AI works across the platform to turn your environment’s signals into insights, actions, and audit-ready evidence. Iru gives IT and security teams time and control back. Get to know Iru: iru.com

What if you didn't have to stay trapped in operational busywork simply because it's "what you do." Kane Narraway, Head of Enterprise Security at Canva, shares a great example with end user computing teams. They're perpetually chasing the next operating system update or new app deployment, without ever stepping back to question the cycle. The breakthrough comes when you ask: What if we just stopped? What would that unlock us to accomplish? It could feel counterintuitive, but saying no to some operational work can create space for the strategic work that actually moves the business forward. Finding the right tools that handle operational work for you through automation can similarly create the time and space for this strategic work as well. The key is remembering what you're trying to achieve in the first place. Not just what you've always done.

"Risk accepted" is a common concept in the world of compliance, but what if it were embraced in the world of security? Staff Security Engineer at GitLab, Dmitri Altum, highlights a fundamental shift in how security professionals should approach their role. He makes the case for why smart security teams should optimize for a healthy balance between protection and business functionality. This approach requires security professionals to think more like business partners and less like gatekeepers. Do you agree? Or disagree? Let us know why. (P.S.

Unwanted apps are more than just a distraction. They’re a security risk. Most MDMs don’t give IT the tools to block them effectively. Kandji does. From detection to enforcement to end-user messaging, app blocking keeps your Mac fleet secure and distraction-free. In this TIL episode, Andy walks through how easy it is to put app blocking to work. 😎

IT and security teams are stuck in a cycle: More tools → more fragmentation → more maintenance → more risk → more burnout. We surveyed over 1,000 IT and security professionals, which revealed just how costly that complexity has become: ➡️ 49% say overlapping tools are their top challenge ➡️ 41% link poor integrations directly to security risks ➡️ Teams managing 16+ tools are 3x more likely to report high burnout The data shows that integration and automation aren’t nice-to-haves anymore. They’re survival priorities. If IT and security leaders want to reclaim time for strategic work, reduce burnout, and lower risk, the path forward isn’t more tools. It’s smarter ones. Here’s what 1000+ professionals are saying about tool sprawl and what needs to change:

Managing Apple devices is one thing. Securing them? That’s a whole other challenge. Most teams juggle multiple tools to get both done. But what if one platform could handle it all?
