About this episode

The episode discusses the new Network Relay feature that modernizes VPN usage without complete replacement.

Join co-hosts Kat Garbis & Josh Thornton with Jamf guests, Iulia Arghir (Senior Product Manager) and Alexander Dove (Senior Sales Engineer) as they introduce and unpack the exciting details of a new feature, Network Relay. Network Relay provides a modern VPN framework, built into the OS and deployable via MDM . Rather than replacing an existing VPN all together, Network Relay can work alongside it, securing admin specified destinations, helping modernize and better secure an existing infrastructure. Network Relay preserves the native Apple device experience that users expect. Some benefits are the support for app-specific, policy-driven tunneling, authenticated based on the hardware-attested device identity, ideal for Zero Trust as well as secure remote connectivity available out of the box.
