MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 17, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Jamf (NASDAQ: JAMF), the standard in Apple Enterprise Management, today announced it has completed the acquisition of ZecOps, a leader in mobile detection and response.

This acquisition uniquely positions Jamf to help IT and security teams strengthen their organization’s mobile security posture, accelerate mobile security investigations from weeks to minutes, leverage known indicators of compromise (IOC) at-scale, and identify sophisticated 0 or 1 click attacks on a much deeper scale.

“ZecOps’ market-leading mobile detection and response capabilities are a great fit for the Jamf platform,” said Dean Hager, CEO, Jamf. “ZecOps’ ability to thoroughly detect and investigate threats that target mobile users further propels our goal of keeping employees productive and secure no matter what device they use for work.”

Mobile devices now account for 59% of global website traffic, and according to the 2022 Verizon Mobile Security Index, close to half (45%) of companies said that they have suffered a compromise involving a mobile device in the past 12 months.

ZecOps will bring important capabilities to the Jamf platform to help address the growing trend of targeted mobile attacks. Jamf offers robust management and mobile security capabilities for iOS devices; however, access to deeper insights into potential security exploits is technically challenging and requires physical access to the device, which is difficult in a remote work environment. ZecOps is a robust, unparalleled solution that provides the deepest layer of insight and assurance for security-conscious customers with high-value targets that need something more. ZecOps provides the same level of visibility currently available for macOS through Jamf Protect but for iOS, making it capable of detecting the kinds of sophisticated mobile threats that Apple’s Lockdown mode aims to prevent.

Intel retires “tick-tock” development model, extending the life of each process

/in

The third phase after tock finally has a name.

It looks like the Kaby Lake processor isn’t a one-off. Intel’s latest 10-K filing (spotted at Motley Fool) discloses that the two-phase “tick-tock” development model that the company has been using since 2007 is being replaced with a three-phase mode: Process, Architecture, Optimization.

Under tick-tock, development was split into “ticks,” where an existing processor design would be migrated to a new manufacturing process, and “tocks,” where a new processor design would be released onto an existing process. The process has been used since Intel first introduced its “Core” branded processors, and the model has created a familiar pattern. Each tock introduces new features and improved architectural performance, and each tick has improved power consumption and/or clock speeds.

However, the process has come under increasing pressure. It took Intel a long time to ramp up production on the 14nm manufacturing process used by the Broadwell (tick) and Skylake (tock) processors, with Broadwell in particular suffering from an extremely long and drawn-out roll out and availability. Broadwell was delayed, with its initial late 2013 release pushed back to September 2014. The Broadwell line-up was incomplete—Intel didn’t create a full range of desktop processors—and even with the delays, nine months passed between when the first mobile parts were released and the limited selection of desktop processors came out. A couple of months later, Skylake hit the market.
