Jamf, a company trusted by more than 78,000 organizations to manage Apple devices, is extending its management capabilities to AI applications. The company now offers AI Governance, which integrates with Amazon Bedrock to help organizations centrally configure and manage AI applications on managed Macs. This integration enables IT administrators to control how AI applications are used across their workforce, ensuring consistency and security in AI deployment. The solution supports applications such as Claude Code, Claude Desktop, and OpenAI Codex, allowing users to access approved applications without manual setup.
With Amazon Bedrock, organizations can run inference in their AWS environment, ensuring that AI operations remain within their security boundaries. Jamf’s AI Governance allows administrators to define settings that connect these applications to Amazon Bedrock and deploy them across a Mac fleet using Declarative Device Management. This approach helps prevent local tampering with configuration files, ensuring that managed settings remain intact. Users can then launch AI applications without editing local configuration files, while IT teams can review policy scope and deployment status through Jamf’s AI Governance platform.
The integration enables IT teams to deploy AI applications efficiently while maintaining control over how they are used. For example, administrators can configure Claude Code to use Amazon Bedrock for inference, enabling prompt caching that can reduce costs by up to 90 percent and latency by up to 85 percent for supported models. The solution also allows for the configuration of various application behaviors, including effort levels, MCP server access, and telemetry settings. This centralized management model simplifies the governance of AI applications across an enterprise’s Mac fleet.
