![]() Looking ahead to 2023, I anticipate we will see this work intensify. Work to limit tracking technologies and to ensure user privacy also feeds into this. Competitors are working together across the industry to create a secure password-free security model for the online world. Jamf, for example, has invested in advanced security telemetry solutions provider, ZecOps, and is financing innovative security startups. The company’s work is being echoed by partners. In October, it launched a security portal and increased bounties offered to security researchers identifying vulnerabilities. Lockdown Mode, Declarative Device Management and numerous improvements in the APIs it offers to MDM providers to protect devices testify to this. Released this week, Apple’s own report says the total number of data breaches more than tripled between 20, exposing 1.1 billion personal records in 2021.Īpple has been heavily engaged in security enhancement this year.In other words, no one is safe until everyone is safe.

Already in the UK, the government claims 40% of businesses were attacked last year.

And once that particular genie is outside the proverbial bottle, it’s going to be very hard to decant it again. While most privacy advocates welcomed the move, some governments and the FBI are aghast, claiming that more tech-driven privacy will make their work harder.
