Mobile Device Attacks: Jamf Mobile Forensics with Chris Deane and Harry Jenkins

About this episode

The episode discusses mobile device security, the challenges faced by IT teams, and the role of Jamf Mobile Forensics in addressing mobile threats.

Mobile device security is the biggest blind spot in most organizations, and most IT teams have no way to investigate when something goes wrong. Chris Deane, Senior Sales Engineer for Jamf Security Products, and Harry Jenkins, Senior Sales Manager for Jamf Mobile Forensics, sit down with hosts Kat Garbis and Josh Thornton to talk through what actually happens when a mobile device gets attacked. They cover the full picture: why MDM alone isn't security, how mobile threat defense stops most attacks but not all, and where Jamf Mobile Forensics comes in for the ones that slip through. Plus a deep dive into spyware — Pegasus (NSO Group), Predator (Intellexa), zero-click attacks, why journalists are targeted just as often as executives, and how Jamf Threat Labs builds detection rules for threats that have never been seen before.
