6 min readEnrolling a fleet of devices sounds simple in theory: pick a Blueprint, assign some settings, and you're done. But in practice, most organizations are managing a mix of Mac computers, Windows computers, iPhone devices, iPad devices, kiosk tablets, and meeting room devices, each with their own configurations, user types, and provisioning requirements. Keeping all of that straight at enrollment time, without manual intervention or a tangle of enrollment codes, has historically been one of the more tedious parts of device management.

10 min readThis post was originally published in April 2022 and has been updated in March 2026 to reflect the latest information. As an IT admin, you’ve almost certainly had to check some form of log when investigating a problem. Logs tell the story of what’s happening on a system, so they can be enormously helpful in both troubleshooting issues and in learning why the system is behaving the way that it is.

8 min readIn recent months, a new class of AI tools has gained momentum, blurring the line between traditional assistants and fully autonomous automation platforms. OpenClaw, previously known as Clawdbot and Moltbot, is designed to execute tasks for users with little ongoing human involvement, including file management, workflow automation, and direct shell command execution. Its rapid viral growth and strong community adoption, with almost 200,000 GitHub stars, have brought attention to a new category of AI tools that operate with deeper system access than most conversational AI platforms.

3 min readIn the modern macOS ecosystem, Homebrew is a staple: the engine under the hood in software engineers' day to day development, and a productivity enhancer for macOS power users. However, its convenience and ubiquity may introduce a significant blind spot for security teams if they lack visibility into the "Cellar" - the specific location where Homebrew stores its binaries, known as formulae. Its hidden dependencies, lingering outdated binaries, and relaxed permissions can create serious security gaps. When a workstation may be the gateway to cloud and production systems, those gaps matter.

5 min readModern Windows device management has come a long way. With UEM-based endpoint management, IT teams can enforce security baselines, configure system settings, deploy applications, and maintain compliance at scale. But even in the most mature Windows management environments, there are always scenarios that require customization. That’s where PowerShell scripting continues to play an important role.

6 min readOn January 6, 2026, security researchers at Iru discovered a suspicious Mach-O binary masquerading as a Windows .exe file. Investigation revealed the file is a PyInstaller-compiled binary that executes malware hidden within a .pyc file. Researchers named the malware MonetaStealer. The malware contains limited capabilities and lacks anti-analysis/persistence mechanisms. Researchers believe it is still in its very early development phase and relies heavily on AI code. MonetaStealer maintains a zero-detection rate on VirusTotal as of the time of writing.

9 min readOn August 26, 2025, attackers exploited a GitHub Actions injection vulnerability inside Nx’s workflow, using a manipulated pull request title to run shell commands and extract the company’s NPM publishing token. With that access, they published malicious versions of trusted Nx packages. Once installed, those packages hijacked local AI command line tools to scan victim systems for credentials, SSH keys, and crypto wallets.
