Profiles, essentially XML payloads, can be used to enforce encryption of the computer storage (solid-state drive), configure VPN settings, and enforce other settings important to your organization. A set of APIs (Application Programmer Interfaces) that allow Fleet to communicate in a secure fashion with computer endpoints to configure them with profiles. Mobile device management, or MDM, is a framework. The marriage of MDM, osquery, and your favorite configuration management tool: Puppet, Chef, Saltstack, or Munki, work seamlessly to help you remediate all of your compliance policies in Fleet. The MDM framework is a foundation for managing endpoints. A query combined with your GitOps workflow allows you to resolve issues quickly and with minimal impact on your organization. With Fleet Device Management, the power of osquery to investigate your computers in real-time is at your fingertips. System administrators experience this scenario of having a gut feeling that their computers are at risk quite often but lack the tools to immediately verify that gut feeling. From your query, you trigger remediation through your chosen configuration manager, and within the hour, your organization is once again secure. You create an osquery policy to discover in real-time which computers are affected. Imagine a world where a software application has a zero-day threat to your organization. Zero-day threats affect organizations everywhere and need to resolve quickly and as transparently as possible. Today’s organizations need their technology to be secure online, offline, and powered off in their carry bag. Osquery and MDM?ĭevice management is no longer enough. We are thrilled to open Fleet up to the public now and let even more organizations harness the power of a programmable open-source MDM. Fleet has run across millions of business-critical hardware and has now become integral to how organizations monitor servers and computers. We know that MDM is complicated, so we dedicated the last 3 years to perfecting the underlying platform of Fleet before turning on the necessary features of MDM. We heard from many Admins that osquery would be a great backbone to an MDM, so we set out to build it. Open-source MDM options were too bare-bones and unsupported. Those MDMs require extensive training and are complicated to tweak or automate. Unfortunately, the only options out there were legacy MDMs like Intune and Jamf. Better APIs for building custom workflows and dashboards.Less ramp time for new team members to onboard to the tooling.More visibility cross-functionally from Security to IT teams.More control over how profiles got changed.Across the board, they told us about their need to build a more customizable MDM solution for their ever-expanding organization. Companies like GitLab, Atlassian, Uber, and Facebook. Is there really a need for another MDM?īefore we set out to create Fleet, we sat down with leaders from some of the biggest and most innovative companies on the planet. In this blog post, we'll explore the benefits and key features of Fleet and how it compares to other MDM solutions. With comprehensive security and monitoring capabilities, Fleet makes device management simple, efficient, and secure. Fleet is the first cross-platform GitOps-enabled MDM solution that works seamlessly across macOS, Windows, and Linux powered by osquery. We are excited to announce that Fleet is now an MDM. This is where mobile device management (MDM) comes in, providing centralized management and control of all devices from a single interface. As organizations increasingly rely on multiple devices running on different platforms, managing them all can be a daunting task. We couldn’t be more excited to announce that as of today, Fleet has enabled MDM features in the latest release of Fleet as a public beta broadly available to everyone.
