Tailscale announces new integration with Jamf Pro

Simply put, Tailscale provides secure VPN access to people who hate VPN tools. I’ve said previously that their team looked at everything that was wrong, complex to configure, and challenging to use and said, “What if we just made all of that better?”. Today, the company is announcing a new integration with Jamf Pro for deploying Tailscale across macOS, iPadOS, and iOS devices while leveraging Jamf’s device compliance capabilities to dynamically inform user access and enforce Zero Trust principles.

This new Tailscale integration leverages Jamf Pro’s device compliance features to check for disk encryption, active firewalls, and up-to-date versions of Apple’s OS to enforce Tailscale’s Zero Trust networking principles. The end result creates a solution that combines simplicity with security, eliminating headaches for IT teams managing large fleets of Apple devices while needing secure remote access/VPN technology.

Key features of the integration:

As Apple’s footprint in the enterprise continues to grow, so do the demands on IT teams to maintain secure access while keeping deployment processes simple and easy to manage. Simply put, most VPN solutions are terrible for IT and terrible for the end user. Tailscale’s new Jamf integration makes its solution even easier to deploy.

The Tailscale and Jamf Pro integration is available on the Jamf Marketplace. For step-by-step instructions on deployment, take a look atTailscale’s documentation or read the announcement blog post here.
