Jamf recently inaugurated its 16th Jamf Nation User Conference (JNUC) in Denver, Colorado, gathering key partners including Apple, Okta, AWS, Microsoft, and Google. Highlighted at this event were the latest enhancements to Jamf’s leading Apple device management and security platform, which now include a robust API ecosystem, advanced AI tools, and automated software updates, all facilitated by Declarative Device Management.
Advancements in API Ecosystem and AI Technology
During the conference, Jamf's CEO, John Strosahl, expressed enthusiasm, saying, “We’re thrilled to welcome Jamf Nation to Denver for JNUC. This year marks a major evolution in how customers engage with Jamf.” He highlighted the flexibility and integration capabilities of Jamf’s platform, emphasizing the ease with which organizations can leverage the Apple ecosystem to its full potential.
New Capabilities for Apple Device Management
Under the theme “elevate,” Jamf revealed new functionalities crucial for organizations deploying Apple devices. A focus was the introduction of the Platform API ecosystem, designed to empower developers, IT, and security teams by simplifying automation, reducing integration complexity, and expanding ways to manage and secure Apple devices at scale. These APIs provide a unified approach to building solutions across the Jamf Platform, offering streamlined automation and opening access to a full range of Jamf capabilities.
For security teams, a new AI Assistant feature, known as the Security Skill for Jamf Protect, was unveiled. This tool uses AI to effectively manage alert fatigue by providing clear, actionable insights, thereby enhancing the efficiency of security operations.
Enhancements in Security and Management
Jamf announced enhancements to its Blueprints solution, initially introduced at JNUC 2024, with new workflows based on Declarative Device Management. The introduction of Automated Software Update Settings allows devices to self-manage operating system updates, eliminating the need for manual intervention and ensuring compliance through controlled parameters set by IT.
Jamf also affirmed its support for Apple’s Platform Single Sign-On, optimizing Mac authentication experiences. This enhancement streamlines the delivery of identity workflows, offering a seamless authentication process for both native and web applications.
Expanding Global Reach
Jamf continues its dedication to helping organizations globally, managing over 30 million devices in more than 75,000 organizations across 100 countries. Its solutions are integral to some of the world's most critical environments, serving 65% of the Fortune 500, including hospitals, schools, banks, retail outlets, manufacturing floors, and airlines.

Those updates include a rich API ecosystem, intelligent AI tools, and automated software updates powered by Declarative Device Management, making the Jamf platform more powerful and flexible than ever before.
API ecosystem and intelligent AI tools
“We’re thrilled to welcome Jamf Nation to Denver for JNUC,” said John Strosahl, CEO of Jamf. “This year marks a major evolution in how customers engage with Jamf."
"Our flexible, extensible platform is powered by a rich API ecosystem and intelligent AI tools. These capabilities make it easier than ever for organisations to fully realise the potential of the Apple ecosystem — with features that matter, integrate seamlessly, and work the way customers need them to.”
New capabilities and workflows
Under the theme of “elevate,” Jamf is once again delivering new capabilities and workflows that matter most to organisations deploying and securing Apple devices. The key highlights from JNUC 2025 include:
Platform API ecosystem to power a more dynamic, flexible Apple experience
Jamf is evolving its platform into a more dynamic and flexible foundation for innovation
With the launch of its new Platform API ecosystem, Jamf is evolving its platform into a more dynamic and flexible foundation for innovation. The new APIs empower developers, IT, and security teams to streamline automation, reduce integration complexity, and unlock new possibilities for managing and securing Apple devices at scale.
Jamf is expanding on its already robust API framework to provide a unified and predictable way to build across the entire Jamf Platform. Platform APIs are designed to adapt seamlessly to each organisation’s environment, integrations, and workflows, giving customers more control and flexibility.
- For developers, Platform APIs offer a consistent and intuitive experience, making it easier to build with confidence.
- For IT and security teams, Platform APIs simplify automation and custom workflows, helping organisations unlock greater efficiency and value.
- For technology partners, Platform APIs enable deeper integrations and open access to the full depth of Jamf capabilities, enabling more powerful apps and solutions that extend the Jamf ecosystem.
New security skill for the AI assistant in Jamf Protect
Jamf also announced a forthcoming AI Assistant feature, the Security Skill for Jamf Protect, extending the company’s AI Assistant technology to security teams.
New capability enables security teams to cut through alert fatigue and focus on what matters most
Building on the Search and Explain Skills introduced earlier this year in Jamf Account and Jamf Pro, the Security Skill will analyse telemetry, correlate events, and deliver plain-language guidance to help teams triage alerts more effectively.
By simplifying complex frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK and CVE references into actionable insights, the new capability enables security teams to cut through alert fatigue and focus on what matters most.
New Apple capabilities and automated software updates
Jamf also expanded its Blueprints solution, first introduced at JNUC 2024, with new workflows designed to streamline Apple device management through Declarative Device Management (DDM).
The latest addition, the Automated Software Update Settings declaration, enables devices to self-manage operating system updates based on policies defined once by IT.
This “set it and forget it” workflow removes the need for repeated checks, scripts, or manual intervention, while giving administrators control over parameters such as user permissions, deferral periods, and beta version access — ensuring consistency, compliance, and reduced administrative overhead.
Apple’s Platform Single Sign-On
Jamf announced its support for this enhancement with pioneering identity partners to make this happen
Apple’s Platform Single Sign-On optimises the enterprise authentication experience on the Mac, starting with synchronising local passwords with cloud IDP accounts, then extending that single sign-on for authentication to native and web apps.
The latest enhancement delivers Platform SSO right out of the box, with streamlined delivery of identity workflows before the user ever gets to the desktop.
Jamf announced its support for this enhancement with pioneering identity partners to make this happen as part of same-day support for macOS 26.
Jamf's mission-critical environments
Jamf helps well over 75,000 organisations, across 100 countries, manage and secure over 30 million devices.
From hospitals to schools, banks to retail stores, manufacturing floors to airlines — they serve some of the most mission-critical environments in the world, representing approximately 65% of the Fortune 500.
