Episode 471: Mac Admins LATAM

Anyone who has spent any time in our Apple world knows that the Mac Admins Community is a unique and special place for us to collectively celebrate our wins, mourn our lows, and help each other out when we are faced with a tricky problem. Within that community there are user groups that are all over the world - these are community run and led by volunteers focussed on fostering a sense of togetherness near and far. For this episode we wanted to highlight one of the community user groups and welcome Juan and Cesar to tell us more about Mac Admins Latin America.

Episode 470: What identity does an Agent have?

A few weeks back, we talked with Jamf about identifying hallmarks of AI Use on device. However, on-device AI use is only part of the story these days. We welcome back Joel Rennich from JumpCloud to talk about what agent identity looks like in July of 2026.

Episode 469: PSSO Updates with Okta

Platform Single Sign-on comes in several different flavours, and each of them offers a different user experience, and solves for Identity Security in a different way. Password Sync, Secure Enclave, and don't forget Smart Card (can anyone who manages them ever forget Smart Card?). There are very strict delineations between features available for one type, and not for another. How do we work out what method is appropriate for our use case, and what settings we should be attempting to configure? Arki and Dan from Okta are back again today to discuss what the current PSSO landscape looks like Hosts: * Marcus Ransom - @marcusransom [https://twitter.com/marcusransom] * Selina Ali - LinkedIn [https://www.linkedin.com/in/selina-ali-604b645b/] Guests: * Arki Krowczynski * Dan Hefley - LinkedIn [https://www.linkedin.com/in/dan-hefley/] Links: * Okta Blog: https://www.okta.com/blog/product-innovation/okta-platform-sso-macos-secure-enclave/ [https://www.okta.com/blog/product-innovation/okta-platform-sso-macos-secure-enclave/] * Arki's Blog: https://blog.iamarki.ai/step-by-step-deploying-platform-sso-with-secure-enclave-support/ [https://blog.iamarki.ai/step-by-step-deploying-platform-sso-with-secure-enclave-support/] Sponsors: * Iru [https://www.kandji.io/macadmins] * Fleet Device Management [https://fleetdm.com/gitops-workshop?utm_campaign=macadmins_podcast] * Workbrew [https://workbrew.com/free?utm_campaign=macadmins_podcast] * Watchman Monitoring [https://www.watchmanmonitoring.com/?utm_medium=macadmin&utm_source=sponsorship&utm_campaign=macadmin&utm_content=macadmin&utm_term=macadmin] If you're interested in sponsoring the Mac Admins Podcast, please email podcast@macadmins.org for more information.

Episode 468: AI Governance

AI has been a constant in tech buzzword bingo for some time now, and the tide has very much changed from "how do we block this" to "how do we use it for the things that make sense". As the constraints have been loosened, and the token costs go up… how do we get a clear understanding of exactly what is being used in our environment, what the AI agents and harnesses are doing, and ensuring we are meeting the expectations of the people who are held accountable? Matt Vlasach is back to talk to us about AI Governance and how Jamf is tackling this in an authentically Apple way.
