    Episode 470: What identity does an Agent have?

    A few weeks back, we talked with Jamf about identifying hallmarks of AI Use on device. However, on-device AI use is only part of the story these days. We welcome back Joel Rennich from JumpCloud to talk about what agent identity looks like in July of 2026.

    PSSO Updates with Okta

    Platform Single Sign-on comes in several different flavours, and each of them offers a different user experience, and solves for Identity Security in a different way. Password Sync, Secure Enclave, and don't forget Smart Card (can anyone who manages them ever forget Smart Card?). There are very strict delineations between features available for one type, and not for another.  How do we work out what method is appropriate for our use case, and what settings we should be attempting to configure? Arki and Dan from Okta are back again today to discuss what the current PSSO landscape looks like Hosts:   Marcus Ransom - @marcusransom Selina Ali - LinkedIn Guests: Arki Krowczynski Dan Hefley - LinkedIn Links: Okta Blog: https://www.okta.com/blog/product-innovation/okta-platform-sso-macos-secure-enclave/ Arki's Blog: https://blog.iamarki.ai/step-by-step-deploying-platform-sso-with-secure-enclave-support/ Sponsors: Iru Fleet Device Management Workbrew Watchman Monitoring If you're interested in sponsoring the Mac Admins Podcast, please email podcast@macadmins.org for more information.

    Episode 468: AI Governance

    AI has been a constant in tech buzzword bingo for some time now, and the tide has very much changed from "how do we block this" to "how do we use it for the things that make sense". As the constraints have been loosened, and the token costs go up… how do we get a clear understanding of exactly what is being used in our environment, what the AI agents and harnesses are doing, and ensuring we are meeting the expectations of the people who are held accountable? Matt Vlasach is back to talk to us about AI Governance and how Jamf is tackling this in an authentically Apple way.

    Episode 467: Trust but Verify

    It seems like every day there is a new tool or product out there that is promising our end users abilities on par of turning lead into gold. With just this one tool, our end users can do anything! If only their pesky IT team would let them install it, then they could generate endless shareholder value, become super efficient, and actually this exact tool is critical for their job and how dare you question it!  When end users are requesting new tools that will lead them to the promised lands, how can we as IT teams ensure that the tools are actually what they say they are, and how can we measure their risk in our environments?  Hosts: Tom Bridge - @tbridge@theinternet.social Marcus Ransom - @marcusransom Selina Ali - LinkedIn Guests: Alex Smith - LinkedIn Links: Apparency, Suspicious Package & Archaeology: https://www.mothersruin.com/ Otool Man Page: https://keith.github.io/xcode-man-pages/otool-classic.1.html Alex's Presentation at Mac Admins Europe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l5DXOagVtpA LaunchControl: https://www.soma-zone.com/LaunchControl/ Mac Monitor: https://github.com/Brandon7CC/mac-monitor DBVisualizer: https://www.dbvis.com/ Apple Github: https://github.com/apple-oss-distributions Jonathan Levin's books at Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/stores/Jonathan-Levin/author/B008ZF7ZKK Tyrrell P34 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tyrrell_P34 Sponsors: Iru Fleet Device Management Workbrew Watchman Monitoring If you're interested in sponsoring the Mac Admins Podcast, please email podcast@macadmins.org for more information.
