Run Trusted Software on macOS

Macs have become essential endpoints for privileged users, making macOS an increasingly attractive target for ransomware groups and credential thieves. AI is also changing the economics of cyberattack. Adversaries can automate campaign development and launch variations at a volume that overwhelms traditional detection and response. When threats can be created faster than defenders can investigate alerts, prevention becomes essential. Unsanctioned agents are appearing across user environments, where they can execute code, invoke tools, and access sensitive data with the user’s permissions. Organizations must prevent locally executing AI agents from running unless security and IT teams have explicitly approved them.

Airlock Digital and Jamf provide a practical way to enforce deny by default on macOS without creating an allowlisting burden. Jamf serves as the trusted delivery path for approved applications. Through the Airlock Digital integration, software deployed by Jamf is automatically trusted as it is installed. Security teams can focus on applications introduced by individual users or delivered through an attack. When Airlock blocks an unapproved application, the request workflow can route into Slack, Microsoft Teams, Jira, ServiceNow, or other tools. Administrators or helpdesk teams can manage approvals through familiar channels and get end-users back to work quickly with minimal friction. Attendees will learn how Jamf and Airlock Digital work together to stop unsanctioned AI agents and prevent ransomware, malware, and even zero-day attacks at scale.
