How Cyberhaven and Jamf Partner to Deliver Unmatched Data Security

This is where the partnership between Cyberhaven and Jamf changes the game. By combining Jamf’s market-leading Apple device management with Cyberhaven’s breakthrough data protection, organizations can achieve comprehensive security without interrupting productivity. Together, these two platforms empower security teams to protect data without compromising user experience.

The Challenges of Securing Data on macOS Devices

Though often favored by developers, designers, executives, and knowledge workers who handle proprietary data, macOS devices introduce unique security considerations. Due to the dynamic nature of their jobs, these users frequently move data between applications, cloud services, and personal devices to get work done efficiently. But the reality is, traditional security tools often struggle to protect against insider risks and data exfiltration. 

Many organizations face gaps when it comes to preventing data transfers via AirDrop to personal devices, USB exfiltration to unmanaged drives, uploads to unsanctioned cloud services, emailing sensitive files to external accounts, and web uploads of proprietary data. Without a solution that understands what data is sensitive and where it moves, organizations remain vulnerable to both accidental leaks and deliberate theft. This is true now more than ever as hybrid work expands beyond traditional security perimeters.

Jamf’s Role in Device Management and Security

Jamf has long been the gold standard for managing and securing Apple devices at scale. Its platform enables IT teams to configure and deploy macOS devices seamlessly, enforce compliance policies, maintain visibility into device health and security posture, and apply endpoint security features. 

With Jamf, organizations can ensure their Mac fleets are properly configured, compliant, and secured against malware or OS-level threats. However, protecting the data that users create, access, and move on these devices requires a specialized layer of visibility and control beyond traditional device management.

Cyberhaven’s Unique Approach to Data Protection

This is where Cyberhaven redefines data security. Unlike traditional DLP solutions that only monitor data at the point of exfiltration, Cyberhaven uses data lineage technology to trace information from its origin through every transformation. For example, if an engineer downloads source code from a company repository, modifies it, and then attempts to AirDrop it to a personal device, Cyberhaven recognizes the data’s origin and sensitivity in real time, even if the file is renamed, compressed, or pasted into a new document. 

Cyberhaven’s platform understands the context of data based on its lineage, not just a file’s surface-level classifications. It monitors and protects data across all major exfiltration channels, including web uploads, cloud apps, USB transfers, email, and AirDrop. When risky behavior is detected, Cyberhaven not only blocks the exfiltration attempt but also educates the user on company policies in the moment, delivering strong security without disrupting legitimate workflows.

Why Cyberhaven and Jamf are Better Together

Jamf ensures that macOS devices are properly managed, configured, and secured at the endpoint level. Cyberhaven adds an integrated layer of data security, preventing sensitive information from leaving these devices in unauthorized ways. 

For joint customers, this combination delivers comprehensive visibility into data movement on Jamf-managed devices. Customers get real-time protection against data exfiltration across all channels, including AirDrop, and reduce insider risk by enforcing policies in a way that coaches users rather than simply blocking work. Together, Cyberhaven and Jamf provide the coverage organizations need to confidently enable Apple devices in any environment, from regulated industries to fast-moving technology companies.

Consider a few real-world scenarios where this partnership delivers immediate value. An engineer working on proprietary software attempts to transfer code files to a personal MacBook via AirDrop. Cyberhaven identifies the source code’s lineage and blocks the transfer in real time, while Jamf ensures the device remains compliant and secured. 

Or let’s say a finance employee tries to upload customer PII from their managed MacBook to a personal Google Drive account. Cyberhaven prevents the upload based on the category of data, while Jamf maintains endpoint configuration integrity. 

The Future of Apple Device Security

As threats evolve and the workforce becomes increasingly mobile, Jamf and Cyberhaven equip security teams with the visibility, control, and precision they need to keep sensitive data safe without getting in the way of legitimate work.

By combining Jamf’s device management and endpoint security with Cyberhaven’s data protection and lineage, organizations gain a holistic approach to security that empowers employees and safeguards critical data.
