MINNEAPOLIS, June 25, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Jamf Holding Corp. JAMF, a renowned leader in the management and security of Apple devices in the workplace, has officially been designated as a CVE Numbering Authority (CNA) by the CVE Program. This prestigious authorization places JAMF at the forefront of contributing to the global effort of identifying, defining, and cataloguing vulnerabilities in software and firmware.

Understanding the Impact for JAMF

The CVE Program is an international, community-based initiative and being authorized as a CNA is a testament to JAMF's commitment to cybersecurity. As a CNA, JAMF will have the authority to assign CVE IDs, contribute to the CVE database, and publish vulnerability information associated with their own product offerings. This not only enhances the security measures of JAMF's products but also demonstrates the company's proactive stance in contributing to the broader cybersecurity community.

The Importance of CVEs

Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) are critical to the cybersecurity industry as they allow for standard identification and a universal language for security professionals. By maintaining a list of disclosed security vulnerabilities and exposures, the CVE Program enables users to coordinate their efforts to prioritize and address these issues, thus improving the overall security posture of their software ecosystems.

Based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, JAMF continues to strengthen its position as a leader in the industry, not just commercially, but in terms of security contribution. This new role as a CNA highlights JAMF's ongoing initiatives to empower organizations with secure and manageable Apple ecosystem deployments.
