Who loves VPNs? Folks in the network security team, please put your hands down - we weren’t asking you… Wouldn’t it be great if there was a way that we could offer privacy and protection out there in that wretched hive of scum and villainy we call the internet? Wouldn’t it be even better if it was baked into the operating system so each vendor wasn’t just making things up as they go? Apple announced iCloud private relay in 2021, and in 2023 we got what I guess you could call the “Enterprise version” - Network Relays. Today we have Matt Vlasach here to talk about why Network Relays are awesome and how we can use them to make Apple devices more secure and useable Hosts: Tom Bridge - @tbridge@theinternet.social Marcus Ransom - @marcusransom Guests: Matt Vlasach - LinkedIn Links: MASQUE Protocol IETF https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-schinazi-masque-02.html WWDC 2023 - Protect App Traffic with Network Relays https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2023/10002 https://reg.jnuc.jamf.com/flow/jamf/jnuc2024/home24/page/jnuc24sessioncatalog https://blog.cloudflare.com/masque-building-a-new-protocol-into-cloudflare-warp/ Sponsors: Kandji 1Password Watchman Monitoring If you're interested in sponsoring the Mac Admins Podcast, please email podcast@macadmins.org for more information.

Do you find that life is like trying to understand code without comments? Many of us are discovering later in life that there is a word that explains why the unwritten rules of life just don’t seem to make sense.

Beth Johnson’s talk at MacAdmins this year was all about bringing Compliance routines to her organization, and we wanted to spend some time getting her to share more about the process, the tools, and most importantly, the philosophy behind her efforts.

Software Updates is a subject that is dear to the heart of all Mac Admins. Traditionally this was a task that we could only perform after devices were enrolled. Beginning with macOS 14, Automated Device Enrollment began to support the requirement of a Minimum OS Version, which allows us to mandate that the device is updated before we allow it to enroll into our device management system. This week, we’ll talk with Bushrat Chowdhury of Jamf about the adaptation of this feature into the product.

It seems like it’s onboarding assistants all the way down at the moment. Everyone has embraced the idea of ensuring our users are kept informed about what is going on when their device is being configured, but most of them share one thing in common - they run once the user has arrived at the desktop. Today we are going. to discuss Jamf Setup Manager, which runs before the setup assistant during enrollment.

Death, taxes and software updates… We deal with a constant stream of updates: Minor, major, N, N-1, N-2. Why do we even have updates? Because software inherently sucks and bad people find ways to exploit the vulnerabilities that they find, or is it that good people find them and disclose them before the bad people get a chance to use them... If simply applying these software updates wasn’t hard enough, we also need to understand what devices are eligible for which updates, and may have auditing responsibilities to make decisions as to why and how quickly we need to apply them.

Trust is a subject we regularly discuss with our guests. How do we trust our users, how do we trust the software they want to run, how do we trust the devices they are on. In the modern world where you can’t believe everything a computer or mobile device is telling you about itself, how do we make sure that the devices we are managing and granting access to the privileged information we need to secure are in fact what they say they are? Jedda Wignall put together a very comprehensive deep dive into Managed Device attestation last year and we’ve been looking forward to having him on the podcast to talk through it.
