Join our co-hosts Sean Rabbitt and Kat Garbis to unpack a common theme "good enough." With guests Marcus Ransom and Kyle Randall (Jamf Solution Engineers), unpack when “good enough is good enough” and when it is problematic.The team talks through real life scenarios about where they have found good enough to be good enough, but also problematic in the long run.Important findings are that some folks, often don’t realize there are other options and are going off limited knowledge. That leveraging a subject matter expert could be beneficial in making things more secure and streamlined in the long-run with less issues along the way.The team also discusses ways they have consulted in better ways and approaches to improving technology environments as well as risks of not keeping technology best practices current.The team closes out with asking “what kind of work do you want to do?” as no matter what, whether ripping out an out-of-date frame work requires some upfront time investment, but so does a critical problem down the road.Sean unveils the latest technology tip at the end.

Is Good Enough, Good Enough?

Sean and Kat spend time unpacking the current landscape in identity. Platform Single Sign-on is a new update provided by Apple for identity. Sean provides an update on how we got to Platform Single-Sign-on. They unpack how SSO and Platform SSO have some similarities as well as core differences for admins to understand as they support identity as well as which IDPs have previews available. Kat and Sean then unpack where Jamf Connect is supporting this new equation. They talk through where Jamf Connect continues to fill gaps and verbally explain technical outcomes with the new workflow as well as what is required for securing identity for Macs. They also point out some possible security concerns to consider. Special Thanks to Mike VanDelinder for his support in this session.
