Drata Integration with Kandji Automates Mac Security Monitoring

Drata is a fast-growing SaaS company that provides seamless compliance with SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, and HIPAA, by automating the process of collecting evidence across an organization’s tech stack. That evidence allows companies to prove their security posture and pass audits; automating the process can significantly reduce the time companies spend achieving and monitoring compliance. Drata automates its evidence collection by connecting with more than 50 cloud-based tools—business suites, identity management providers, and the like. Proving that end-user devices are secure also plays a major role in meeting compliance requirements. That's why Drata recently enabled an integration with Kandji that extends those monitoring abilities to Mac computers. Instead of installing an agent to monitor Mac security settings, Drata can pull the data from Kandji via API.

Kandji Passport Coordinates Local, Cloud Identities for Authentication

Today, Kandji announced the release of Passport, an authentication product that creates a seamless, one-password sign-in experience for users. Kandji Passport validates the credentials a user provides during Mac login against an organization’s cloud-based identity provider (IdP), so users need to remember just one password for both their Mac computers and the organization’s single sign-on (SSO) provider. Passport provides a native Mac login experience while streamlining device configuration, management, and security tasks for IT admins. “Fewer passwords for users to remember and for admins to manage can enhance an organization’s end-to-end security,” said Adam Pettit, CEO at Kandji. “Additionally, IT teams see many help desk tickets from users who can’t log in because they’re not sure which password to use or who get locked out for typing in the wrong password too many times. Having both the cloud identity password and local password synced creates a better user experience and reduces the ticket load on Mac admins.”
