New capability gives enterprises visibility, control and governance for AI tools running across managed Mac fleets.
Jamf is set to release AI Governance, a new capability within Jamf for Mac that enables IT and security teams to discover AI tools, enforce policy controls, and generate audit-ready reporting, at the end of June 2026.
With launch support for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, and Open AI Codex, the capability provides deep governance coverage across model access, network permissions, file system controls, MCP server restrictions, and other vendor-specific AI configurations.
A vendor control tracking engine continuously monitors supported AI platforms for new or updated controls, helping organisations keep governance policies current as AI tools rapidly evolve.
The only native Mac control plane for enterprise AI
AI tools run natively on Apple Silicon and operate as background processes that existing network proxies and cross-platform endpoint tools cannot fully see or govern. No existing tool unifies MDM authority, deep AI tool configuration coverage, and a workflow that translates governance intent into vendor-correct configuration on macOS.
Jamf AI Governance closes that gap by deploying vendor-correct AI configurations natively, in minutes, through the Device Management plane that admins use today, delivering three capabilities across the solution:
• Visibility: AI application visibility and shadow AI discovery surface AI tools, agents, and LLM runtime across the fleet (including CLI-based developer tools and background agents) using Jamf Protect telemetry which is native to Apple Silicon. No new agent is required.
• Control: AI access policy controls let IT define sanctioned tools, deploy access policy at scale, and scope different postures to different teams including three curated default postures (Maximum Security, Balanced, and Developer-friendly). Vendor-correct configurations can be applied automatically at scale.
• Governance: An executive AI posture report provides CIOs and CISOs with a summary of AI usage. The capability offers SIEM compatibility and is designed to assist companies in reporting against their existing compliance frameworks.
“AI adoption across the enterprise is moving faster than existing technology policies can keep up,” said Beth Tschida, CEO at Jamf. “Organizations need governance that matches the way AI tools actually operate on Mac. This means visibility into what’s running, policy controls enforced directly on the endpoint, and reporting that helps security teams demonstrate compliance. Our AI Governance capability delivers that natively from the same platform customers already trust to manage and secure Apple devices.”
Jamf’s AI Governance capability will be available on 30 June 2026 in Jamf for Mac with immediate support for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, and OpenAI Codex.
