Episode 370: Jedda Wignall on Managed Device Attestation

Mac Admins Podcast

Trust is a subject we regularly discuss with our guests. How do we trust our users, how do we trust the software they want to run, how do we trust the devices they are on. In the modern world where you can’t believe everything a computer or mobile device is telling you about itself, how do we make sure that the devices we are managing and granting access to the privileged information we need to secure are in fact what they say they are? Jedda Wignall put together a very comprehensive deep dive into Managed Device attestation last year and we’ve been looking forward to having him on the podcast to talk through it.
