Jamf (NASDAQ: JAMF), which describes itself as the standard in Apple Enterprise Management, has acquired Israeli company Wandera, a leader in zero trust cloud security and access for mobile devices for $400 million.
Jamf declares that the acquisition of Wandera will extend its mobile security and access capabilities with Zero Trust Network Access, threat defense and data policy enforcement.
So what is Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA). Basically it is what it sounds like: a category of technologies that provides secure remote access to applications and services. If you don’t trust anyone with access then you have less to be worried about.
Founded by brothers Roy and Eldar Tuvey, Wandera provides a zero trust cloud security solution to protect the modern workplace. The company says that it enables zero-trust access to all applications, so that users can secure their data and devices against cyber threats and help them apply policies to filter internet access and reduce risk exposure.
“We believe in making security simple. This is why we created a unified offering, managed through a single console and supported by the broadest range of ecosystem integrations,” says the company.
