Mobile device security is the biggest blind spot in most organizations, and most IT teams have no way to investigate when something goes wrong.

Chris Deane, Senior Sales Engineer for Jamf Security Products, and Harry Jenkins, Senior Sales Manager for Jamf Mobile Forensics, sit down with hosts Kat Garbis and Josh Thornton to talk through what actually happens when a mobile device gets attacked.

They cover the full picture: why MDM alone isn't security, how mobile threat defense stops most attacks but not all, and where Jamf Mobile Forensics comes in for the ones that slip through. Plus a deep dive into spyware — Pegasus (NSO Group), Predator (Intellexa), zero-click attacks, why journalists are targeted just as often as executives, and how Jamf Threat Labs builds detection rules for threats that have never been seen before.

Annie and Charles are joined by Daniel MacLaughlin to tell us a little about what it's like jetting around the Asia Pacific countries, deploying all the things - and of course we get him to tell us about snakes and the creative naming schemes Australians use for them (which is not unlike many a naming scheme used for packages over the years)!

Dave Saltmarsh joins Annie and Charles in this episode to talk about how things are going in education, what an education strategist does, and share some of his knowledge from decades of experience in the classroom and then enabling edtech for others. It's a great journey, with lots to think about (which is pretty much every conversation anyone has ever had with him).
