00:00:09,700 --> 00:00:13,000
You're listening to the identity
of the center podcast, this is 

2
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:15,600
the show that talks about 
identity and access management 

3
00:00:15,700 --> 00:00:18,600
and making sure you know who has
access to what let's get 

4
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:26,400
started. 
Welcome to the identity of the 

5
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:27,600
center podcast. 
I'm Jeff. 

6
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:28,700
And that's Jim. 
Hey, Jim. 

7
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:31,200
Hey, Jeff, how are you? 
Oh, not so bad yourself. 

8
00:00:31,300 --> 00:00:36,600
It's going fantastic here. 
A doctor octane. 22 in San 

9
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:40,000
Francisco, California. 
And in the recording booth, 

10
00:00:40,300 --> 00:00:42,700
which is fantastic. 
It is, and the rain has 

11
00:00:42,700 --> 00:00:44,600
subsided. 
So today's been a nice nice, 

12
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:46,400
casual walk over. 
At least, I don't know. 

13
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:48,900
Actually, maybe the rain has 
inspired haven't seen the 

14
00:00:48,900 --> 00:00:52,500
sunlight since about 8 a.m. but 
yes, definitely, thanks doctor 

15
00:00:52,500 --> 00:00:54,600
for their support, you know, 
giving a spot to record Thanks 

16
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,100
to our SM, obviously, for 
funding, our travel out here and

17
00:00:57,100 --> 00:00:59,700
making this all possible enough 
with the kind of the 

18
00:00:59,708 --> 00:01:02,800
commercials, we are at Octane 
22. 

19
00:01:03,300 --> 00:01:05,800
We've been having lots of great 
conversations with folks here, 

20
00:01:06,100 --> 00:01:08,300
we've got another one, great, 
another great, one lined up 

21
00:01:08,300 --> 00:01:10,600
here, with Matt Vesak. 
He's the VP of product with 

22
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:12,200
champ. 
Welcome to the show, man. 

23
00:01:12,300 --> 00:01:14,400
Hey guys, thanks for having me. 
Yeah, thanks so much for taking 

24
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:16,800
the time and this is the first 
time you've been on the podcast 

25
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:17,900
with us. 
So we've got this sort of 

26
00:01:17,908 --> 00:01:21,900
traditional question and that is
how did you get into this space 

27
00:01:21,900 --> 00:01:24,300
of identity? 
And you know is it something? 

28
00:01:24,300 --> 00:01:27,000
Thing that you chose or did it 
choose you? 

29
00:01:27,300 --> 00:01:29,700
Yeah so identity definitely 
found me. 

30
00:01:29,700 --> 00:01:33,200
I came from a place of device 
management, Mobile Security, 

31
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:37,500
application programming and you 
know one of the things that got 

32
00:01:37,500 --> 00:01:40,600
me into identity was the 
realization of how to determine 

33
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:44,700
a managed device from an 
unmanaged device and if that 

34
00:01:44,700 --> 00:01:48,000
user is using a managed device 
or not, and one of the first 

35
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,100
things we realized, well, you 
know, how can we Bridge an 

36
00:01:51,100 --> 00:01:53,800
identity to a device and my tie 
those things together? 

37
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:57,200
So that Can have what's now kind
of amounted to zero trust 

38
00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,700
principles like solving that 
problem. 

39
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:03,100
Early was something that we were
after Ann actually here at OCTA 

40
00:02:03,100 --> 00:02:06,900
octane. 2019 was where I kind of
got a lot of inspiration for 

41
00:02:06,900 --> 00:02:10,000
some of those ideas and actually
this conference crushed, the 

42
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:13,800
initial idea that we had and 
ultimately evolved into some 

43
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:16,400
better solutions that we ended 
up thinking through making. 

44
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:19,600
So it was a learning experience.
It was a learning experience. 

45
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:21,500
Yeah. 
Eye-opening and soul-crushing at

46
00:02:21,500 --> 00:02:24,500
the same time. 
So I am a fan of jam for a Of 

47
00:02:24,500 --> 00:02:28,400
reasons mostly personal selfish 
regions because anything that 

48
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:33,100
makes it easier for Max and Mac 
OS in general to be more 

49
00:02:33,100 --> 00:02:36,200
prevalent in an Enterprise. 
That is mostly dominated by 

50
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:39,200
windows at this point, right? 
Is good. 

51
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:43,200
For those who aren't familiar 
with jams, give us like the 3060

52
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:46,900
seconds, sort of what is Jeff do
and what are the problems that 

53
00:02:46,900 --> 00:02:51,500
they're looking to solve? 
Yeah so jams primary business 

54
00:02:51,500 --> 00:02:55,000
for the last 20 years has been 
just that making Manageable. 

55
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:59,100
So they could work in the 
Enterprise or in schools and, 

56
00:02:59,100 --> 00:03:03,800
you know, organizations the 
challenge has always been that 

57
00:03:03,900 --> 00:03:07,900
apple is a consumer company. 
They focus on endpoint, you 

58
00:03:07,900 --> 00:03:10,800
know, and user experience and 
they kind of keep it is the 

59
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:14,200
second you know player in that 
equation. 

60
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:18,200
So Apple has though created a 
lot of Frameworks and stuff that

61
00:03:18,300 --> 00:03:22,600
providers like jam can adopt to 
make those devices manageable at

62
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:27,000
scale and so Kind of what we say
is we take, we're Apple leaves 

63
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,900
off when it comes to enabling 
these things and bridge the gap 

64
00:03:30,900 --> 00:03:34,400
to where businesses and 
Enterprises like need for those 

65
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:38,500
devices to operate within a 
Windows world and you know, need

66
00:03:38,500 --> 00:03:40,400
all the security and management 
requirements. 

67
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:45,800
So side question here, how I 
guess how much of a partner is 

68
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:49,000
Apple in this and helping you 
get your products out there? 

69
00:03:49,300 --> 00:03:51,600
Like I hope they have to be 
aware of it, right? 

70
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:53,600
Do do they help? 
Do they assist and they've kind 

71
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:56,400
of drawn the line or is it 
something where it's made like a

72
00:03:56,408 --> 00:03:59,500
frenemy situation, you know what
is what does it look like, you 

73
00:03:59,500 --> 00:04:01,700
know, from your perspective? 
Know, so we're really well 

74
00:04:01,700 --> 00:04:06,800
aligned with apple. 
I mean we have a long history of

75
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:08,400
working with them. 
We adopted. 

76
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:10,700
We were one of the first to 
adopt mobile device management. 

77
00:04:10,900 --> 00:04:13,700
Originally fun, fact, you know, 
we were originally of all about 

78
00:04:13,700 --> 00:04:18,899
like, mac Imaging but as Apple 
introduced to MDM, you know, we 

79
00:04:18,899 --> 00:04:22,300
saw that as the future and we 
adopted that first and we gave a

80
00:04:22,308 --> 00:04:24,000
lot of feedback to Apple, and 
that kind of, really 

81
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:25,800
kick-started the relationship 
from that point. 

82
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,700
So we have as good of a 
relationship as you can with 

83
00:04:28,700 --> 00:04:32,200
apple, apple has a very 
secretive kind of way of 

84
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,900
working, which is no different 
at the Enterprise level. 

85
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:38,200
So we have our relationships 
with them and we're able to do 

86
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:39,800
what we can. 
But, you know, we don't get 

87
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,300
roadmap visibility. 
It's a lot of reading tea leaves

88
00:04:42,300 --> 00:04:44,700
and those sort of things, but 
when you're aligned closely with

89
00:04:44,700 --> 00:04:47,300
apple, you kind of have a better
idea of where things are headed 

90
00:04:47,300 --> 00:04:51,000
and you can move that way. 
So you've got a cool title VP of

91
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:54,500
product, which, you know, 
depending on your Viewpoint. 

92
00:04:54,500 --> 00:04:57,700
Could be sounds really awesome. 
I immediately, maybe I'll take a

93
00:04:57,707 --> 00:04:59,300
little darker place. 
I think of, you know, Breaking 

94
00:04:59,300 --> 00:05:00,900
Bad. 
If your product. 

95
00:05:02,100 --> 00:05:05,600
What is a VP of product do? 
Like what is your day look like.

96
00:05:05,900 --> 00:05:09,400
Yeah so VP of product and I'm 
specifically VP of product for 

97
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:12,100
our security division, okay? 
There's a division that is 

98
00:05:12,100 --> 00:05:14,400
management. 
So security is everything we 

99
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:19,500
deliver with identity and access
ztn a and kind of our security 

100
00:05:19,500 --> 00:05:21,900
stack. 
We have the management VP who is

101
00:05:21,900 --> 00:05:24,800
responsible for Jim projet. 
Now, some of our, the, the 

102
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:29,100
traditional management stuff. 
So my role is to really look at 

103
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:33,500
how we have established our 
customer base with these decades

104
00:05:33,500 --> 00:05:36,700
long as of relationships with 
device management and understand

105
00:05:36,700 --> 00:05:40,400
how we can leverage that Apple 
device management. 

106
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:45,000
Footprint to be able to offer 
more Security Services up the 

107
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:48,400
stack because as Jim we're not 
going to move across the stack 

108
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:50,800
where we're going to start to 
like dude, Windows management, 

109
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,200
for example. 
So our option is to go up the 

110
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:56,200
stack where, you know, now we 
need to think about how do we 

111
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:58,600
bring identity to the platform? 
How do we bring in Point 

112
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:01,600
Security and networking? 
And how do we provide a great 

113
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:05,200
user experience around all that?
That's what we say like apple 

114
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:08,300
consumer-friendly, but, you 
know, suitable for energy 

115
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:10,700
security teams and it teams to 
be able. 

116
00:06:10,900 --> 00:06:15,100
Manage the whole solution. 
So my role is to really identify

117
00:06:15,100 --> 00:06:17,600
those opportunities. 
Make sure it aligns with whether

118
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:21,200
the market is headed, where our 
customers heads are at and then 

119
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:24,000
enabling our sales team and 
marketing team to go out and 

120
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:27,900
talk to that while also managing
a team that actually executes on

121
00:06:27,900 --> 00:06:30,400
the roadmap and builds those 
things. 

122
00:06:30,900 --> 00:06:34,400
We're going to talk about one of
the sausage you just had last 

123
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:35,600
night. 
Actually, that was really good, 

124
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:39,100
but I'm curious from a like, a 
product roadmap perspective as 

125
00:06:39,100 --> 00:06:41,200
you think about it from like, 
okay, what are the us' or 

126
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:46,300
capabilities that we're going to
offer, I guess, where does that 

127
00:06:46,300 --> 00:06:48,200
inspiration come from? 
You know, there's things like 

128
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:50,800
pass keys and Fido Alliance, 
which were very good friends 

129
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:54,000
with and yes, have been part of 
that, you know, kind of Arena. 

130
00:06:54,300 --> 00:06:57,000
I would imagine customers are 
probably coming to you asking 

131
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:58,900
for. 
Hey, can we do this? 

132
00:06:59,700 --> 00:07:01,800
I guess where, you know, where 
else does inspirational? 

133
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:06,200
Because I would imagine you 
can't just be, you know, on on 

134
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:09,200
Pace you need to be thinking 
ahead like that's very easy 

135
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:12,000
industry going and Dissipating 
with those things are. 

136
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,800
I guess it seems to make us very
much a challenge, especially 

137
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:16,600
considering how often things 
changed. 

138
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:18,600
Yeah. 
And it and identity and specific

139
00:07:18,900 --> 00:07:20,900
other are there any things you 
can kind of point to that would 

140
00:07:20,900 --> 00:07:22,300
help kind of bring that into 
context? 

141
00:07:22,700 --> 00:07:27,700
Yeah I mean so our very first, 
real identity product was Jam 

142
00:07:27,700 --> 00:07:31,500
connect and that was filling. 
A need that directly to your 

143
00:07:31,500 --> 00:07:33,000
point. 
Directly from customers 

144
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:36,200
customers were saying, hey I 
have a I don't want to do 80 

145
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:40,100
binding for my Mac and I really 
have no way to create local 

146
00:07:40,100 --> 00:07:42,300
Accounts at Scale with passwords
and sink. 

147
00:07:42,300 --> 00:07:46,100
So we just, it was purely 
listening from customers and 

148
00:07:46,100 --> 00:07:48,400
actually an open source project 
called Nomad, you probably heard

149
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:51,600
about that back in the day, we 
acquired that and turn that into

150
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:54,000
Jam connect and made it into 
what it is today. 

151
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:57,600
And that was filling that gap of
bringing identity to the Mac. 

152
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,100
Now, what I talked about 
yesterday and where we're 

153
00:08:00,100 --> 00:08:03,800
headed, Apple has realized. 
Well, that's a gap worth filling

154
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:05,100
because we built a whole product
around here. 

155
00:08:05,100 --> 00:08:08,100
We've got a bunch of customers. 
So why not actually like build 

156
00:08:08,100 --> 00:08:10,600
that into the platform? 
And oh, by the way, Microsoft's,

157
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:12,300
Doing this for quite some time, 
too. 

158
00:08:12,300 --> 00:08:15,700
And there's probably some reason
why Microsoft still has such a 

159
00:08:15,707 --> 00:08:19,000
footprint because they have 
identity built into everything 

160
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:20,900
that they do on their platform 
and windows. 

161
00:08:21,100 --> 00:08:23,500
So, Apple's response is 
everything that they've 

162
00:08:23,500 --> 00:08:25,800
announced this year. 
So platform, single sign-on for 

163
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:29,200
instance, is designed to solve a
lot of those problems and 

164
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:32,299
actually bring identity to the 
to the platform. 

165
00:08:32,299 --> 00:08:36,799
And the really interesting thing
is, you know, this apple gave 

166
00:08:36,799 --> 00:08:39,100
some hints about this a few 
years ago with a single sign-on 

167
00:08:39,100 --> 00:08:41,299
extension. 
It's enables Al's you know 

168
00:08:41,299 --> 00:08:45,300
identity providers like OCTA and
Microsoft to figure out or to be

169
00:08:45,300 --> 00:08:48,100
able to deliver these kind of 
Fido. 

170
00:08:48,100 --> 00:08:50,700
We're both ends password list 
sort of experiences using the 

171
00:08:50,700 --> 00:08:53,000
secure enclave and and 
fingerprint sensor and those 

172
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:58,600
sort of things on these devices.
But what they were missing was 

173
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:00,800
that deeper integration into the
actual OS. 

174
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:02,500
That was just kind of out that 
but application Level. 

175
00:09:02,500 --> 00:09:05,600
So now what they've been doing 
is they've been with these 

176
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:07,000
announcements, they've really 
made it. 

177
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,700
So that your first touch point 
with when you unlock your Mac or

178
00:09:09,700 --> 00:09:12,600
log into your Mac. 
That is actually making it 

179
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:16,700
really easy to enjoy those 
password list and single sign-on

180
00:09:16,700 --> 00:09:19,700
and secure, Enclave, back and 
biometric backed experiences. 

181
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,000
Once you start using 
applications on the device so 

182
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:27,200
mad, I won't talk a little bit 
about the jam Jam fans to 

183
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:29,400
company give a number of 
products. 

184
00:09:29,700 --> 00:09:32,700
You also solve a couple of 
different use cases, right? 

185
00:09:32,700 --> 00:09:36,200
So why don't we start there with
what are the major use cases? 

186
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:39,000
Then give us an idea of like the
product landscape because I 

187
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:43,000
heard you mention several 
products and I don't know how 

188
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:45,700
they fit into the big picture. 
I'm assuming you ins like a 

189
00:09:45,700 --> 00:09:49,800
management project product and 
things like that and it sounds 

190
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:53,600
like there's a secure Enclave 
product. 

191
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:58,000
But, you know, maybe you should 
just educate us listeners and 

192
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,300
practitioners on what yeah, what
the pieces and parts are and 

193
00:10:01,300 --> 00:10:03,400
maybe start with the use cases. 
Yeah. 

194
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:07,100
So most people know us Forge a 0
and the use case around that is 

195
00:10:07,100 --> 00:10:11,400
Apple device management. 
Its I have these iOS Or Mac OS 

196
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:16,000
devices or iPads and Apple TVs. 
And I need to make sure that I'm

197
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:19,400
able to keep track of them. 
Wipe them deploy Wi-Fi. 

198
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:21,500
Deploy apps. 
Make sure there's not, there are

199
00:10:21,500 --> 00:10:25,700
vulnerable like, just very 
basic, like MDM functions and 

200
00:10:25,900 --> 00:10:29,700
kind of even if you have MDM 
for, you know, your windows to 

201
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:33,000
your Microsoft device is you 
still would want to use Jam 

202
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:36,000
because it's like more 
feature-rich and the idea. 

203
00:10:36,100 --> 00:10:38,700
Yeah, so it's an interesting 
question because, you know, you 

204
00:10:38,700 --> 00:10:41,400
would think that you EMS like, 
you know, you Unified endpoint 

205
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:45,200
management tools like in tune 
would win the day but Mac is 

206
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:48,800
such a unique Beast that it 
allowed us to build a 

207
00:10:48,808 --> 00:10:52,000
best-of-breed product that even 
was able to survive in spite of 

208
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,700
you EMS. 
And in fact, Microsoft like does

209
00:10:54,700 --> 00:10:56,500
what's called co-management with
us. 

210
00:10:56,800 --> 00:11:00,800
So, you know, it's Microsoft 
Azure ID and some in tune 

211
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:04,600
capabilities as well as our 
champ Pro and point agent and 

212
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:07,200
MBM. 
So that's what we're known for. 

213
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:09,900
That's where we've really kind 
of established ourselves over 

214
00:11:09,900 --> 00:11:12,400
the last again. 
Like Decades is what most people

215
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:15,700
know us for now, kind of alluded
to it earlier. 

216
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:19,000
We've had the option, you know, 
as we as we're now a public 

217
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:20,600
company, we need to continue to 
grow. 

218
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:25,100
We need to do more and more. 
So you know, an MDM and device 

219
00:11:25,100 --> 00:11:27,900
management only can do so much 
where we were, you know, going 

220
00:11:27,900 --> 00:11:31,100
into a lot of more markets where
in all sorts of areas. 

221
00:11:31,100 --> 00:11:33,500
But you know, the idea is like, 
if we're not going to go build 

222
00:11:33,500 --> 00:11:36,100
an Android or we're not gonna be
coming to uem because we really 

223
00:11:36,100 --> 00:11:38,100
want to focus on that Apple 
experience. 

224
00:11:38,100 --> 00:11:40,200
We think it's such a 
differentiated platform. 

225
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:42,500
There's so much Which future 
opportunities to it, that it 

226
00:11:42,500 --> 00:11:45,400
makes sense to lean into that. 
So that's why we're leaning into

227
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:47,700
these other technologies that go
up the stack. 

228
00:11:47,700 --> 00:11:50,200
So Jeff connect was the other 
thing that a lot of our 

229
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:54,000
customers know us, for which is 
where we brought identity to the

230
00:11:54,008 --> 00:11:58,000
Mac where the main use case is, 
I got this brand new Mac out of 

231
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:01,400
the box. 
The default behavior is, hey, 

232
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:05,300
welcome like create a new user 
account, local account, local 

233
00:12:05,300 --> 00:12:08,300
account. 
Let me go ahead and come up with

234
00:12:08,300 --> 00:12:10,600
any random user name. 
Oh, and any random. 

235
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:13,600
And maybe make it a sad and it's
going to have admin rights and 

236
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:15,900
must be, at least 4 characters. 
Yeah. 

237
00:12:15,900 --> 00:12:18,100
If it even has that. 
Yeah, and, you know, we we solve

238
00:12:18,100 --> 00:12:21,100
this thing with out-of-the-box 
Device, enrollment, so, Jan Pro,

239
00:12:21,100 --> 00:12:23,300
and Apple provide out of the box
device enrollment. 

240
00:12:23,300 --> 00:12:26,800
So that Mac out-of-the-box use 
the serial number to provision 

241
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:30,100
itself, into your MDM in our 
case, Jeff Pro, right? 

242
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:34,500
Wonderful has nothing to do with
the actual user account that 

243
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:36,500
it's crazy. 
You could do some configurations

244
00:12:36,500 --> 00:12:38,900
around what that's supposed to 
look like, but all of our 

245
00:12:38,900 --> 00:12:42,100
customers have said like that is
Insufficient for what we need. 

246
00:12:42,500 --> 00:12:45,600
So champ connect is designed to 
do this kind of just in time, 

247
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:49,300
local account, provisioning, 
with your identity provider of 

248
00:12:49,300 --> 00:12:51,600
choice. 
And it keeps the passwords in 

249
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:55,300
sync between the IDP. 
You can do things like audit log

250
00:12:55,300 --> 00:12:58,500
ins to the Mac, your identity 
provider because it's using like

251
00:12:58,500 --> 00:13:00,400
all the web views and all that 
other sort of fun stuff. 

252
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:03,800
So it's delivering some of this 
modern authentication capability

253
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:06,600
onto Mac OS. 
And so, we were kind of the 

254
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:10,500
first to do a lot of that. 
And as we move further up this, 

255
00:13:10,700 --> 00:13:12,300
Back. 
We then also added things like 

256
00:13:12,300 --> 00:13:14,900
endpoint security. 
So being able to do things like 

257
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:19,800
looking for malware or risky, 
Behavior or devices that are 

258
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:22,600
straight out of compliance, is 
one of the things that we do and

259
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:24,600
then on the networking, even 
further up the stack, we have a 

260
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:27,500
zero, trust network, access 
solution, that is highly 

261
00:13:27,500 --> 00:13:31,500
identity-based, we require that 
a user authenticates, whether 

262
00:13:31,500 --> 00:13:33,700
identity provider of choice 
again. 

263
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:37,200
And then we use that identity 
to, you know, determine what 

264
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:38,900
access users should have access 
to. 

265
00:13:38,900 --> 00:13:40,500
And well, again, we built the 
whole solution. 

266
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:43,600
Lucien around this idea that 
vpns traditionally suck. 

267
00:13:43,700 --> 00:13:46,900
And so we want something that is
well uses. 

268
00:13:46,900 --> 00:13:49,800
The VPN framework, it's using 
wire guard behind the scenes, so

269
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:51,800
it's super fast and it just 
takes a lot away. 

270
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:54,000
A lot of that that pain of 
trying to manage private public,

271
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,000
private key pairs, you know 
manually. 

272
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,800
We just kind of wrap identity 
around that put policies around 

273
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:00,800
it and we get this full stack 
experience. 

274
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,600
Let me ask about the wire guard 
because at Peak my my brain a 

275
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:07,000
little bit, it's a newer 
protocol for security and I 

276
00:14:07,008 --> 00:14:10,600
think there's some times 
incompatibility issues that I 

277
00:14:10,700 --> 00:14:13,300
With Hotel routers yet Hotel 
Wi-Fi. 

278
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:15,400
I'm assuming I'm sort of like 
fallback plan. 

279
00:14:15,700 --> 00:14:19,200
Yeah, we did a great. 
Yeah, so it is an area where we 

280
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:21,100
are expanding on. 
Some of those compatibility 

281
00:14:21,100 --> 00:14:24,800
things like captive portal 
networks on airplanes are the 

282
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:28,400
bane of my existence because, 
you know, you're supposed, 

283
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:31,300
there's a whisper protocol 
that's supposed to let the OS is

284
00:14:31,300 --> 00:14:34,100
allows you to, like gracefully 
handle the situation where 

285
00:14:34,100 --> 00:14:37,700
there's not a default gateway, 
but we've just found a lot of 

286
00:14:37,700 --> 00:14:41,000
these captive portal. 
Networks actually buy I passed 

287
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:44,800
that detection and intentionally
continue on and cause problems. 

288
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:48,600
I am to the point where I have 
captive to apple.com as a 

289
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:53,200
bookmark toolbar because I run 
in this problem so often so you 

290
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:54,700
know exactly what I'm talking 
about. 

291
00:14:54,700 --> 00:14:57,400
Yeah, so, we're working on ways 
to improve that but that is, 

292
00:14:57,600 --> 00:14:59,500
that is one of the challenges of
wire guard. 

293
00:14:59,500 --> 00:15:03,400
So, I heard you mention a couple
of other things in your 

294
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:05,000
presentation. 
I don't think they're chapped 

295
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:07,300
products, but one must fast 
pass. 

296
00:15:07,500 --> 00:15:10,500
And then, I know that the other 
is not yours is passkeys, right?

297
00:15:10,700 --> 00:15:14,000
Maybe talk a little bit about 
those and how they fit into what

298
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:16,200
you're doing. 
Yeah, so many passes. 

299
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:19,500
So, yeah. 
So octave Fastpass is an octave 

300
00:15:19,500 --> 00:15:24,700
technology that is acht has 
implementation of apples single.

301
00:15:24,700 --> 00:15:28,800
Sign-on extension, on Apple 
platforms now, on Windows, they 

302
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:33,400
use other Technologies but they 
have OCTA fast. 

303
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:37,700
Pass is the wrapping of the 
password list Technologies and 

304
00:15:37,700 --> 00:15:40,000
secure Enclave based 
Technologies available on 

305
00:15:40,100 --> 00:15:42,200
Windows. 
Hello, for instance, but also 

306
00:15:42,300 --> 00:15:46,000
all the secure Enclave Tech on 
Apple Technologies. 

307
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:49,800
It's the wrapping of that so 
that you can have these password

308
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:54,500
list biometric web often based 
experiences using the octave 

309
00:15:54,500 --> 00:15:58,200
verify application and so 
there's fast pass. 

310
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:02,500
Then there's pass Keys which are
also web authentic credentials. 

311
00:16:02,500 --> 00:16:04,500
Now, they're not necessarily the
same thing. 

312
00:16:04,700 --> 00:16:09,600
Octaves using their own kind of 
proprietary mechanisms to do you

313
00:16:09,608 --> 00:16:12,100
know for their credentials. 
You know, how to make fast pass 

314
00:16:12,100 --> 00:16:16,900
work but you could use web often
and other, you know, and and 

315
00:16:17,100 --> 00:16:21,500
passkeys as a way of doing, you 
know, additional step up with 

316
00:16:21,500 --> 00:16:24,000
medication or other sort of 
authentication. 

317
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:28,500
I want to preface this next 
question by saying, I love 

318
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:32,500
MacBook Pros and MacBook airs 
and you know basically the Apple

319
00:16:32,500 --> 00:16:39,300
products but from a security 
standpoint, I wonder you know, 

320
00:16:39,300 --> 00:16:43,500
why wouldn't I A seesaw or CIO 
just want to have like a 

321
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:45,100
Windows. 
Only environment. 

322
00:16:45,100 --> 00:16:49,700
Wouldn't that make it much 
easier for them is it that they,

323
00:16:50,300 --> 00:16:54,800
they have to do the the MacBooks
or can actually be just a secure

324
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:58,300
more secure than the windows 
environment. 

325
00:16:58,700 --> 00:17:01,500
Yeah. 
So we get this question a lot as

326
00:17:01,500 --> 00:17:04,200
you can imagine being focused on
Apple devices and Enterprise. 

327
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:07,500
So, you know, there's been this 
kind of natural growth where 

328
00:17:07,500 --> 00:17:10,400
you've had creatives and certain
business units and certain job. 

329
00:17:10,599 --> 00:17:16,599
Really focus on Apple and insist
on Apple and those. 

330
00:17:16,900 --> 00:17:19,200
And you know, the security team 
said, well fine. 

331
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:21,099
If you're going to support that,
we need some sort of device 

332
00:17:21,099 --> 00:17:23,200
management. 
So you know, there's been this 

333
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:27,400
kind of natural attached of a 
services like jam Pro and device

334
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:31,100
management to those Max. 
But what's been missing has been

335
00:17:31,100 --> 00:17:33,800
again higher up on the stack 
like how are you making a great 

336
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:36,900
experience with networking? 
And how are you able to make 

337
00:17:36,900 --> 00:17:40,200
sure that the endpoint is secure
from threat and the Frameworks 

338
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:42,500
and the Ecosystem, the 
Technologies haven't just 

339
00:17:42,500 --> 00:17:45,000
necessarily been there when 
where they have been, it's been 

340
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,800
taking Windows Technologies and 
just kind of dumping them on Mac

341
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:51,100
and you you don't get a great 
experience and also you've had 

342
00:17:51,100 --> 00:17:53,900
the cost element of it like 
Windows have always been like 

343
00:17:54,300 --> 00:17:56,500
PCS have just been cheap, like 
they've been a lot cheaper. 

344
00:17:56,500 --> 00:18:00,200
The so when it comes to the 
actual purchase price, it's been

345
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:02,500
cheaper to do that now, you 
introduce things like the 

346
00:18:02,500 --> 00:18:05,300
MacBook Air with the M2 
processor, where you're getting 

347
00:18:05,300 --> 00:18:08,000
a lot of bang for your buck. 
That's definitely starting to 

348
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,400
change the game and from a 
support abilities. 

349
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:13,800
I'm Point as you have mobile 
device management as you have 

350
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:16,900
integrated identity coming along
as you have Securities 

351
00:18:16,900 --> 00:18:20,200
Frameworks and all these pieces 
that have been missing for the 

352
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:21,700
sea. 
So, to look at the platform and 

353
00:18:21,700 --> 00:18:24,000
say, oh, that's the mature, 
enterprise-grade platform. 

354
00:18:24,100 --> 00:18:27,800
Those are all finally starting 
to come together and we see 

355
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:31,900
things like ought to Fastpass 
and our MDMA, you know, champ 

356
00:18:31,900 --> 00:18:35,400
row and all of these kind of 
components come together to make

357
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:40,800
it actually possible. 
So if we have, you know, all the

358
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:44,100
tools in place for both 
platforms to have feature 

359
00:18:44,100 --> 00:18:46,000
parity, right? 
When it comes to security. 

360
00:18:46,500 --> 00:18:50,700
I think there was relatively 
famously IBM, I think it was did

361
00:18:50,700 --> 00:18:53,400
some sort of like study like 
seems like it was five years 

362
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:54,500
ago. 
Could be ten, I don't know. 

363
00:18:54,500 --> 00:18:58,200
Time doesn't mean anything 
anymore where they found, it was

364
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:04,400
actually cheaper for them to run
a Mac as a standard device 

365
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:07,300
because there was probably a 
higher upfront cost of the time 

366
00:19:07,300 --> 00:19:09,200
because it's what I'm pretty 
Apple silicon. 

367
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:17,400
But less challenges around 
support Hardware failures Etc. 

368
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:19,700
But I think one of the things 
they did call out was they had 

369
00:19:19,700 --> 00:19:23,300
to have a very good strategy 
from a security standpoint to 

370
00:19:23,300 --> 00:19:25,400
make sure that you just these 
devices were enrolled. 

371
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:28,100
And I guess the skeptic in me 
looks at this and says, okay, 

372
00:19:28,100 --> 00:19:32,300
well I've got Windows, I've got 
some portion of my user base 

373
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:36,900
that wants to use a Mac. 
I already have Windows sort of 

374
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:40,400
MDM Licensing in tune through my
Microsoft 365. 

375
00:19:40,500 --> 00:19:43,700
And now there's this extra 
expense that I need to go to to 

376
00:19:43,700 --> 00:19:45,800
adjust to support the Mac 
population. 

377
00:19:46,300 --> 00:19:49,100
And I think that turns off a lot
of folks who are like, okay, I 

378
00:19:49,100 --> 00:19:51,300
would love to do it, but there's
a cost associated with all this 

379
00:19:51,300 --> 00:19:53,500
stuff. 
Are there things that we should 

380
00:19:53,500 --> 00:19:58,100
be thinking about in the, I am 
world to better support, our Mac

381
00:19:58,300 --> 00:20:01,100
brothers and sisters out there 
of which I am one of your own. 

382
00:20:01,100 --> 00:20:05,700
I do both right if I'm equal 
opportunity but I do find that, 

383
00:20:05,700 --> 00:20:09,400
you know, financially speaking. 
There is an extra cost today to 

384
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:12,400
support the mac and why It and I
don't know what the right 

385
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:15,800
messaging is to get out in front
of folks, and say, yes, there is

386
00:20:16,100 --> 00:20:19,900
or its comparable, or maybe 
there's some other sort of 

387
00:20:19,900 --> 00:20:21,000
benefit to say. 
Yeah. 

388
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:24,600
We should have something like 
jam fright, to solve all these 

389
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:26,500
other issues. 
Yeah, yeah. 

390
00:20:26,500 --> 00:20:30,300
So, I mean, a big part of it is 
you also, you know, some of the 

391
00:20:30,300 --> 00:20:31,400
other trends that have happened 
to. 

392
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:34,400
So again, pricing is becoming 
more comparable, so the actual 

393
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:37,100
asset is becoming less of a huge
different. 

394
00:20:37,100 --> 00:20:39,300
I mean, it used to be the 
employee Choice when you would 

395
00:20:39,300 --> 00:20:41,600
choose to do a Mac. 
You It like a MacBook Pro which 

396
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:44,700
was like starting 2,800 dollars 
or something like that versus a 

397
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:48,900
$900 Lenovo or something. 
And so it was just apples and 

398
00:20:48,900 --> 00:20:50,900
oranges when I came to a price 
comparison. 

399
00:20:50,900 --> 00:20:54,500
But again that's why the Silicon
thing is such a kind of a 

400
00:20:54,500 --> 00:20:56,900
game-changer a big piece of it 
but there's a ton of other 

401
00:20:56,900 --> 00:21:00,900
elements in play you have, you 
know, employees with a, you 

402
00:21:00,900 --> 00:21:04,200
know, the younger Generations 
that are used to iPhones and 

403
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:06,700
east of the Apple experiences 
and they're going to want to 

404
00:21:06,700 --> 00:21:10,900
have, you know, device choice. 
And having a Mac option is That 

405
00:21:10,900 --> 00:21:13,900
increasingly to pull the right, 
you know, the full top talent, 

406
00:21:13,900 --> 00:21:16,000
they're going to want to have 
the choice to have a Windows or 

407
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,300
Mac device just throwing them 
with a Windows. 

408
00:21:18,300 --> 00:21:20,800
You're going to get a lot of 
opinionated users as we go 

409
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:23,300
along. 
Also on the application stack. 

410
00:21:23,300 --> 00:21:26,500
You know, a lot of traditionally
Windows a lot of like that 

411
00:21:26,500 --> 00:21:29,600
Windows applications only run on
Windows but now increasingly 

412
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:33,100
everything's moved in the cloud 
in browsers or native apps that 

413
00:21:33,100 --> 00:21:34,500
are just wrapped in a lot of 
cases. 

414
00:21:34,500 --> 00:21:37,600
So you have this, you have this 
situation where the actual 

415
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:41,300
platform the OS that's running 
because less of a Of a hindrance

416
00:21:41,300 --> 00:21:44,600
to being able to adopt. 
So I think all those Trends are 

417
00:21:44,608 --> 00:21:47,300
coming together to make it so. 
Well, if you care about user 

418
00:21:47,300 --> 00:21:50,500
experience and yes you're not 
going to buy just one Microsoft 

419
00:21:50,500 --> 00:21:53,400
license and get everything. 
But if you care about user 

420
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:56,500
experience and productivity and 
you know, and you to your 

421
00:21:56,500 --> 00:21:58,100
question about identity, what 
can we do? 

422
00:21:58,300 --> 00:22:01,400
Just integrating with the native
Apple Frameworks whenever you're

423
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:05,600
building applications or you are
you just sticking to Modern off 

424
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:08,300
like as much as you can, let's 
just going to automatically 

425
00:22:08,300 --> 00:22:11,700
unlock these excellent you. 
Experience Frameworks because 

426
00:22:11,700 --> 00:22:15,800
apples investing in the 
underlying identity layers that 

427
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:20,000
as long as you as developers, 
create enrollment at are like 

428
00:22:20,100 --> 00:22:22,500
side and experiences that 
leverage the native Frameworks. 

429
00:22:22,500 --> 00:22:24,600
You're going to get 2 benefit in
the Enterprise world. 

430
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:29,100
All these great innovations that
are enabled by OCTA for 

431
00:22:29,100 --> 00:22:32,200
instance, or other identity, 
providers, as part of that, 

432
00:22:32,700 --> 00:22:36,400
yeah, wanted to ask one. 
Other question is, I'm trying to

433
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:40,300
get a sense for what is the 
approach that you see? 

434
00:22:40,500 --> 00:22:43,200
Most companies taking, what's 
where's the trend? 

435
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:49,300
Is it that they're allowing Max 
where they just traditionally 

436
00:22:49,300 --> 00:22:54,700
outshine PCS like in desktop 
publishing and on the developer 

437
00:22:54,700 --> 00:22:58,500
side, or do you see more 
organizations moving toward? 

438
00:22:58,500 --> 00:23:02,600
Hey, we're a Mac shop. 
And then I've worked for a 

439
00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:06,700
smaller company where it was 
BYOD, including right. 

440
00:23:06,700 --> 00:23:08,800
The Jeff's up. 
So it was like, hey, you've got 

441
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:13,900
a stipend of 2,000 or 3,000 
every couple of years. 

442
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:17,300
You can go out and buy your own 
device but we're going to manage

443
00:23:17,300 --> 00:23:19,800
it, right? 
Is that a trend that you're 

444
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:23,000
seeing more overall? 
What's the landscape out there? 

445
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:27,500
Yeah, overall the landscape 
today is you have pretty much 

446
00:23:27,500 --> 00:23:31,500
every sized organization. 
Has some portion of Max, whether

447
00:23:31,500 --> 00:23:34,800
that's a hundred percent, 90 
percent, 5 percent, 10 percent 

448
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:37,300
really varies bound, the 
industry upon, you know, the 

449
00:23:37,300 --> 00:23:40,000
size of the company and like 
what sort of work they do, and 

450
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:41,600
what they're working. 
Workforce prizes of and also 

451
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:45,800
who's running 90 and how they 
think about their endpoint 

452
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:48,600
experiences and where they focus
on and stuff like that. 

453
00:23:48,900 --> 00:23:50,700
So today, it's a little bit all 
over the place. 

454
00:23:50,700 --> 00:23:53,400
But again, we are seeing that 
that point earlier about the 

455
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:57,200
employee, that device Choice 
programs have been kind of 

456
00:23:57,200 --> 00:23:59,600
skewed towards more expensive, 
like it's a premium theme for a 

457
00:23:59,608 --> 00:24:01,800
Mac. 
So we are definitely seeing the 

458
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:09,100
trends of Max becoming a more 
open option for employees choose

459
00:24:09,100 --> 00:24:11,900
between like, you know, he's 
Just reserved for certain like 

460
00:24:11,900 --> 00:24:14,100
job roles. 
But now, you know, more and more

461
00:24:14,100 --> 00:24:16,400
companies, especially the larger
larger ones are saying, well, 

462
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:18,400
you know, we can put a Mac right
there next to the Windows 

463
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:21,000
machine, when you're choosing. 
But very few are saying, You 

464
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:25,100
must have a Windows or you must 
have a Mac because again to the 

465
00:24:25,100 --> 00:24:28,400
point of employee choice and be 
most productive on the platform,

466
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:31,000
you enjoy is important. 
And like what we're trying to do

467
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:35,100
on the jam side is again, make 
that consumer experience real on

468
00:24:35,100 --> 00:24:37,700
that that Mac device. 
So when you are presented with a

469
00:24:37,708 --> 00:24:39,700
choice, it's something you're 
familiar with. 

470
00:24:39,700 --> 00:24:41,500
It's easy to use. 
Use the text stays out of the 

471
00:24:41,500 --> 00:24:42,900
way. 
It's just there. 

472
00:24:43,500 --> 00:24:45,300
Your point about byos really 
interesting. 

473
00:24:45,300 --> 00:24:48,700
We're seeing a bit of a relative
Revolution right now for BYOD 

474
00:24:49,700 --> 00:24:52,200
because Apple has this thing 
called user enrollment which is 

475
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:55,200
this really light weight 
management Paradigm where you 

476
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:57,600
effectively create an encrypted 
part in encrypted partition on 

477
00:24:57,600 --> 00:24:59,700
the device that's separate from 
all your personal apps 

478
00:24:59,900 --> 00:25:02,400
management can only work in that
encrypted partition. 

479
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:05,000
It cannot see anything happening
outside of that. 

480
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:06,600
It doesn't know what other apps 
you have installed. 

481
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:07,900
Doesn't know what sites you're 
going to. 

482
00:25:08,100 --> 00:25:10,300
It literally has no way to do 
that if they wanted to. 

483
00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:13,200
It's private by Design is how 
Apple built it. 

484
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:16,900
So that is currently starting to
really kind of make some waves 

485
00:25:16,900 --> 00:25:21,400
on the mobile side of the world.
So iOS iPhones and iPads you 

486
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:24,500
know, and watch the space for 
byop see or BYO Mac. 

487
00:25:24,500 --> 00:25:26,900
You know, the idea of bringing 
your own Mac is really 

488
00:25:26,900 --> 00:25:30,800
interesting powered by identity,
is I in those identity 

489
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:34,000
experiences of like how you 
identify, you know, which 

490
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,900
applications belong to the 
organization and which ones are 

491
00:25:36,900 --> 00:25:40,300
personal, and how do you enroll 
that that personal? 

492
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:44,500
It into an organizational xiety 
framework that has the right 

493
00:25:44,500 --> 00:25:46,500
amount of privacy and security 
baked in. 

494
00:25:47,100 --> 00:25:48,700
It's a lot harder to do on a 
Mac. 

495
00:25:48,700 --> 00:25:52,700
Given the way that the OS is 
built, whereas iOS is a lot more

496
00:25:52,700 --> 00:25:54,600
sandbox to Nature. 
You have a little bit more 

497
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:58,100
control so but yeah watch that 
space. 

498
00:25:58,100 --> 00:25:59,000
It's going to be very 
interesting. 

499
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:02,200
I think see what happens next 
couple years so this has been a 

500
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:05,200
very Apple discussion. 
Yeah yeah but I'm a fan because 

501
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:08,700
I could talk this this stuff all
day and I'm sure you can and do 

502
00:26:08,700 --> 00:26:11,600
as well. 
We like to end on a lighter note

503
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:15,200
around here and I guess, here's 
my question, right? 

504
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:18,000
What is the best or worst 
product? 

505
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:22,500
That Apple makes all we can 
start with with you Matt and see

506
00:26:22,500 --> 00:26:24,600
if you've got a which one you 
want to go with? 

507
00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:27,900
And we'll go to gym. 
You know, if I can say it, it's 

508
00:26:27,900 --> 00:26:30,000
not a single product. 
It's kind of, I guess it would 

509
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:33,000
be like iCloud or like, you 
know, the whole unified 

510
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:34,900
experience. 
Like just the fact that I could 

511
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:40,900
pick up my phone and you know, 
start an email then go to My Mac

512
00:26:40,900 --> 00:26:45,500
and it just like transfers over 
or I could like tell Siri to 

513
00:26:45,500 --> 00:26:48,700
like turn on a fireplace and 
everything just kind of works 

514
00:26:48,700 --> 00:26:52,900
whereas you know some other 
ecosystems are not as seamless. 

515
00:26:52,900 --> 00:26:55,900
I mean I think that's the beauty
of it being like a full stack 

516
00:26:55,900 --> 00:26:58,400
like they own the hardware and 
the software that they have a 

517
00:26:58,408 --> 00:27:00,900
chance. 
Oh I have one, that's my worst. 

518
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:03,200
And I think everyone listening 
to this will appreciate if you 

519
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:09,100
have air pods the the the time 
it takes to get that are pod to 

520
00:27:09,100 --> 00:27:11,300
connect to your phone and 
Actually get the audio. 

521
00:27:11,300 --> 00:27:14,200
You want is it's insanely 
inconsistent. 

522
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:17,000
Like I find, sometimes it's like
fast and it has every takes like

523
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:19,900
a minute or two minutes. 
I said I just I don't know her. 

524
00:27:19,900 --> 00:27:21,600
I'm just going to blame 
Bluetooth for that one. 

525
00:27:21,900 --> 00:27:24,600
Yeah Jim. 
What about yourself the best or 

526
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:25,900
worst product that Apple makes 
is? 

527
00:27:25,900 --> 00:27:31,300
So I'm like I'm not like into 
the newest gadgets So my answer 

528
00:27:31,300 --> 00:27:37,500
is going to be nothing special 
but I think the Apple I think 

529
00:27:37,500 --> 00:27:40,500
they're calling you the family 
plan but basically like Like 

530
00:27:40,500 --> 00:27:45,000
apple music Apple podcast, Apple
TV, like the amount of 

531
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:49,800
entertainment that you can get, 
think back to when we were kids 

532
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:51,900
who were buying like CDs. 
Do you want to listen to the 

533
00:27:51,900 --> 00:27:55,900
song? 
Go buy a CD 1699 amount people 

534
00:27:55,900 --> 00:27:58,100
like oh my gosh 20 bucks a month
for. 

535
00:27:58,300 --> 00:28:02,300
It's like a you have access to 
every song in the world that's 

536
00:28:02,300 --> 00:28:05,800
like ever been recorded. 
Like it's amazing. 

537
00:28:06,100 --> 00:28:07,900
So this is taking it back to the
conversation. 

538
00:28:07,900 --> 00:28:10,200
We had last night with Enrique 
and been around. 

539
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:14,400
Collecting like vinyl and albums
versus y or just everything on 

540
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:16,100
demand. 
Like why would I buy something? 

541
00:28:16,100 --> 00:28:18,300
It's like, it's true, that 
that's cute to have a wine. 

542
00:28:18,300 --> 00:28:21,500
All like, I mean, I'm not trying
to disrespect people were really

543
00:28:21,500 --> 00:28:25,600
into vinyl but you could never 
come close to the catalog. 

544
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:29,000
So I mean, for me that's that's 
where it's at. 

545
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:33,600
That's a good thing. 
All right, so I got to I got a 

546
00:28:33,608 --> 00:28:37,700
best out of worse. 
The worst is without a doubt. 

547
00:28:37,900 --> 00:28:40,100
Well actually, I got just 
thought it's like what I have to

548
00:28:40,100 --> 00:28:42,300
work. 
This one's the worst is the 

549
00:28:42,300 --> 00:28:46,200
Apple mouse that you have to 
plug in on the bottom and like 

550
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:48,300
you can't use the mouse while 
it's charging because the 

551
00:28:48,308 --> 00:28:51,300
charging port is on the bottom. 
So you just kind of sit there 

552
00:28:51,300 --> 00:28:55,000
like a dead rodent on your desk,
completely unusable. 

553
00:28:55,400 --> 00:29:00,000
The other is the remote control 
for the Apple TV with that. 

554
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:01,000
Swipe. 
Yeah. 

555
00:29:01,100 --> 00:29:03,800
Before they updated it which is 
still not great but at least 

556
00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:06,400
step in the right direction. 
Oh I hate that. 

557
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:10,200
Touchpad is so bad. 
Is the clear weak spot. 

558
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:13,200
Of what it is. 
A very good streaming box the 

559
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:16,200
best and this is something I 
discovered today. 

560
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:18,300
Literally, when I was sitting 
here, I was copying something in

561
00:29:18,308 --> 00:29:23,200
my my iPhone some text and I 
just happened to notice on my 

562
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:27,700
MacBook sitting in front of me, 
it said, copied as like what? 

563
00:29:28,300 --> 00:29:31,000
And I paste it, and it was the 
text that was on my phone, which

564
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:33,800
is exactly what I wanted to do. 
I was about to like, you know, 

565
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:36,600
go to another app, drop it in 
there, or email it to myself or 

566
00:29:36,608 --> 00:29:39,100
whatever, and it just, it was 
there. 

567
00:29:39,100 --> 00:29:41,300
And it worked. 
I was like, Like oh wow. 

568
00:29:41,300 --> 00:29:43,700
Like that is cool. 
Can I add a worst? 

569
00:29:43,700 --> 00:29:48,000
Yeah and it's it's complaining 
about a missing feature so Apple

570
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:52,100
carplay which I love love. 
Apple carplay but I don't see 

571
00:29:52,100 --> 00:29:57,500
why you couldn't stream a video.
To your video screen in your 

572
00:29:57,500 --> 00:29:59,300
car. 
Be like Wireless Apple carplay 

573
00:29:59,500 --> 00:30:02,500
even if it's not wireless, even 
if it's like USB plug, I just 

574
00:30:02,500 --> 00:30:05,400
don't see why you couldn't. 
You could play music to it. 

575
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:08,700
You can do Apple Maps to it. 
Why couldn't you have like a 

576
00:30:08,700 --> 00:30:12,000
YouTube video safety? 
Camping watching TV while you're

577
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:15,100
out in the street anyway you'll 
find a way. 

578
00:30:15,100 --> 00:30:16,900
That's my complaint, the whole 
driving thing. 

579
00:30:16,900 --> 00:30:19,900
Yeah, it's like complaint that 
we're gonna jump jump on 

580
00:30:19,900 --> 00:30:22,400
something there. 
Oh yeah, no I was just going to 

581
00:30:22,408 --> 00:30:24,500
say to your point. 
It's like it's just they do a 

582
00:30:24,500 --> 00:30:27,100
million little things, right? 
I mean it's just like these 

583
00:30:27,100 --> 00:30:30,400
little tiny details that have 
taken again decades for them to 

584
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:33,600
get all tied together. 
But that's kind of their secret 

585
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:35,700
sauce, I think. 
Yeah, yeah. 

586
00:30:35,700 --> 00:30:37,600
I'm a fan time in the ecosystem.
What can I say? 

587
00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:40,200
All right. 
I think that's been a great 

588
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:41,000
cover. 
Chef Matt. 

589
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:42,500
Thank you so much for joining 
us. 

590
00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:45,700
You don't let me put you on the 
spot real quick before we go. 

591
00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:47,200
Sure. 
I know a champ. 

592
00:30:47,500 --> 00:30:49,100
I don't know who your 
competitors are. 

593
00:30:49,100 --> 00:30:51,900
Who else does this? 
So, it's a good question. 

594
00:30:51,900 --> 00:30:55,000
So I mean, we have on the MDM 
side. 

595
00:30:55,100 --> 00:30:58,100
We've always been the 
traditional gorilla in the 

596
00:30:58,100 --> 00:31:01,100
market, when it comes to Mac 
management and apple. 

597
00:31:01,100 --> 00:31:04,200
Best we have other competitors 
that have come in like, kanji 

598
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:06,700
and Mosel that have really been 
like some of the other 

599
00:31:06,700 --> 00:31:09,800
competitors that have started 
entering the MDM space and 

600
00:31:09,900 --> 00:31:11,600
increased. 
The following the same strategy 

601
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:14,900
of moving up the stack with 
security and of course, we've 

602
00:31:14,900 --> 00:31:17,700
got our friends at Microsoft, 
you know, doing a bit of 

603
00:31:17,700 --> 00:31:21,200
everything. 
And, you know, we're working 

604
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:23,900
with them where we can and 
adding value, because you can't 

605
00:31:23,900 --> 00:31:28,500
get away from Microsoft and they
also recognize the value that we

606
00:31:28,500 --> 00:31:31,000
bring. 
So it's really that front of me.

607
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:34,300
Sort of thing is exactly where 
we are, but that is, it's 

608
00:31:34,300 --> 00:31:37,100
helping it is, it is, it keeps 
us motivated to keep on 

609
00:31:37,100 --> 00:31:40,100
innovating and trying to deliver
the best experiences and 

610
00:31:40,100 --> 00:31:41,500
partner. 
Where we can too. 

611
00:31:42,300 --> 00:31:46,300
Yeah, I guess I motivate you 
guys to kind of keep developing 

612
00:31:46,300 --> 00:31:49,400
a staying far enough ahead. 
That that front of me again. 

613
00:31:49,700 --> 00:31:52,400
Relationship exists since I 
like, hey, we don't need you at 

614
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:53,800
all. 
Yeah, one can lie. 

615
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:55,300
I think it's the entire 
industry. 

616
00:31:55,300 --> 00:31:57,400
If you're not Microsoft and 
you're playing in their sphere 

617
00:31:57,400 --> 00:32:00,700
of what they do, especially with
Azure ID and with in tune and 

618
00:32:00,700 --> 00:32:03,800
with Sentinel I'm sorry with 
Defender and all those other 

619
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:05,900
sort of things. 
Like if you're another security 

620
00:32:05,900 --> 00:32:09,100
provider or identity provider,
