More About Kandji
Kandji provides a cloud-delivered Apple endpoint management (endpoint management) and security platform that focuses on macOS, iOS, iPadOS, and tvOS fleets in business and institutional environments. The platform is designed for IT, security, and compliance teams that standardize on Apple hardware and need to manage devices across distributed workforces, including remote and hybrid deployments. Administrators access Kandji through a web console to define device baselines, security controls, and application catalogs, which are then applied over the air to enrolled Apple devices.
The platform uses Apple-native frameworks such as Apple Business Manager, Apple School Manager, and the Apple Push Notification service (APNs) to enroll and manage devices at scale. Kandji supports automated device enrollment workflows that allow Zero-Touch Provisioning (ZTP), where devices are shipped directly to users and configured on first boot according to predefined profiles. These profiles typically include Wi-Fi, Virtual Private Network (VPN), security settings, and application sets, and are enforced using Apple’s Mobile Device Management (MDM) protocol (endpoint management).
Kandji incorporates security and compliance features (security and compliance) that map device settings to controls aligned with standards such as CIS Benchmarks and regulatory frameworks. The platform provides libraries of configuration and security controls that can be applied through policies, along with monitoring to report on device posture and drift from desired baselines. This supports use cases where organizations need to demonstrate device compliance for audits, security assessments, or regulatory reviews.
Within enterprise architectures, Kandji commonly integrates with identity and access management providers for user-based enrollment and SSO, as well as with IT service management systems for asset tracking and ticketing workflows. Kandji’s APIs and integrations allow device and compliance data to be surfaced into broader IT and Security Operations (SecOps) tools. The platform also includes capabilities for application distribution, patch management, and OS update management across managed Apple endpoints.
Kandji fits into marketplace categories such as Apple device management (endpoint management), unified endpoint management for Apple-only fleets, and security and compliance automation for Apple endpoints. It is positioned for organizations that require centralized control and visibility over Apple devices, along with policy-driven enforcement and reporting that align with corporate security and compliance requirements.
