Summary
This demonstration highlights Ivanti's mobile device management (MDM) capabilities for Apple's latest ecosystem updates, focusing on iOS 18 and watchOS enhancements. The presenter walks through new support for watchOS store applications, enabling direct app deployment to Apple Watch devices without requiring iPhone intermediaries. A significant portion covers Apple Passkey Attestation, clarifying that this feature validates company-approved passkeys using identity certificates rather than distributing passkeys directly to devices. The session also addresses default app configuration capabilities introduced by Apple, including browser selection and upcoming support for messaging and calling apps. The final segment introduces Apple Business Manager (ABM) device migration features, which facilitate automated re-enrollment when organizations transition between MDM solutions, including migrations from Ivanti's on-premises platform to their cloud offering. Throughout the presentation, the speaker emphasizes how these capabilities align with industry trends toward passwordless authentication and streamlined device lifecycle management.
