Jamf to Acquire Identity Automation for Unified Identity and Device Management

Identity Automation enhances Jamf's endpoint management and security platform with dynamic and automated role-based access capabilities.

The industry leader in workplace management and security, Jamf, announced today that it has finalized a deal to purchase Identity Automation. Identity Automation is a dynamic identity and access management (IAM) technology designed for sectors like healthcare and education characterized by frequent job changes.

Identity Automation's extensive and sophisticated IAM platform automates identity and access management processes, greatly lessening IT load and improving user experience. To help guarantee safe device and application access, Jamf will integrate identity and device access into a single, distinctive solution with Identity Automation.

A role that is always changing and hence needs adaptations to access is referred to as a dynamic identity. K–12 education is one such sector where dynamic identity management is a major obstacle. Teachers' and students' identities are dynamic, and they often have different responsibilities and access depending on their class, grade, school, and district.

Based on real-time variables like as schedules, shift changes, rosters, location, role, and grade changes, Identity Automation's platform continually modifies access, device, and security rules. Schools and other sectors that depend on mobile-centric and diskless workflows, including healthcare, retail, aviation, and field services, can benefit from Jamf's ability to provide a single, all-inclusive security solution by incorporating dynamic identity management.

The purchase agreement states that subject to any usual modifications specified in the agreement, Jamf will pay around $215.0 million in cash consideration for Identity Automation. Subject to standard closing conditions, the deal is anticipated to conclude by the end of the second quarter of fiscal year 2025.
