    Episode 469: PSSO Updates with Okta
    Jul 11 2026

    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

    Episode 470: What identity does an Agent have?
    Jul 17 2026

    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.

  • Episode 468: AI Governance

    Episode 468: AI Governance
    Jun 30 2026

    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.
