Apple gadget software maker Jamf has revealed that it will slash six per cent of its workforce as it chases “profitable growth”.

Jamf last reported its staff numbers at the end of 2022, with 2,796 employees. If its staff size has stayed the same, the six per cent cull would hit about 170 Jamf workers.

A Jamf spokesperson said this number is “roughly right” for the staff affected.

In the document, Jamf said that its “workforce reduction plan” is “meant to cut costs, boost margins, and keep pushing the Company’s ongoing pledge to profitable growth”.

Distology, the specialist IT cybersecurity distributor, has today announced it is now a distribution partner of Jamf.

Jamf, the standard in Apple Enterprise Management, helps organisations manage and secure an Apple gear. It claims to be the only company that provides a complete management and security solution for an Apple-first environment that is enterprise secure, consumer simple and protects personal privacy.

Over the last two years, remote and hybrid working has become the norm yet, according to research from Distology, almost half of IT leaders admit their organisation’s cybersecurity isn’t good enough for remote working.

This demonstrates the importance of implementing managed security solutions, such as Jamf, which help to protect the mobile experience.
