From day-zero Setup Assistant enrollment in macOS 26 to device bound SSO using secure enclave keys, Dan covers what IT teams need to know about deploying Platform SSO with Okta and Jamf. Dan shares his perspective as a former MDM admin turned identity product manager, discusses how device bound SSO prevents session hijacking with hardware-backed keys, and explains why the Shared Signals Framework between Okta and Jamf creates layered security.
