Jamf Pro is an enterprise mobility management (EMM) tool that provides unified endpoint management for Apple devices. The Balbix integration with Jamf Pro ingests assets, software and patch information for Apple devices discovered by Jamf Pro.
Balbix leverages AI to aggregate, normalize, and deduplicate ingested data, along with information integrated from your existing IT and cybersecurity tools. This creates a unified view of your entire asset inventory, including vulnerabilities and their business and operational context. Balbix’s AI models then analyze this data to provide insights such as deployment gap analysis, risk-based vulnerability prioritization (with detailed ranking and scoring), and risk quantification. This process delivers a comprehensive assessment of risk, whether for a single asset, groups of assets, or your entire enterprise, enabling more informed and effective security decisions.
