Jamf owns the market for Apple device management in the enterprise. Founded in 2002 in Eau Claire, Wisconsin by Zach Halmstad and Chip Pearson, the company builds software that helps organizations deploy, manage, and secure Apple devices at scale. When a company gives every employee a MacBook or when a school district hands out iPads to students, Jamf is almost certainly the platform making that possible.
The company’s product portfolio spans device management (Jamf Pro and Jamf School), identity and access (Jamf Connect), endpoint security (Jamf Protect), and content filtering (Jamf Safe Internet). Jamf Pro can configure, deploy, and manage thousands of Macs, iPhones, iPads, and Apple TVs with zero-touch provisioning — new employees can unbox a MacBook, connect to Wi-Fi, and have every app and setting automatically configured. Jamf Protect provides purpose-built endpoint security for macOS, detecting threats that generic Windows-focused security tools often miss on Apple hardware.
Jamf went public in 2020 and serves over 75,000 customers in more than 100 countries, managing approximately 33 million Apple devices. The company maintains a uniquely close relationship with Apple, consistently supporting new Apple operating systems and features on the day they launch. As Apple’s presence in the enterprise continues growing — driven by employee choice programs and the shift to Apple Silicon — Jamf’s addressable market expands accordingly. The company’s single-platform approach to Apple management and security creates deep stickiness with customers who’ve standardized on the Apple ecosystem.
