Hey All!
Being that this is my first post here, I thought I'd front load this with a little about this meetup. We run a monthly virtual meetup the first Friday of every month (except when it falls on a holiday). We bring in one of the largest groups of experienced Jamf Admins to discuss all things regarding Jamf. During the hour we run through the newest Jamf and Apple updates followed by a Keynote by Guest Speakers and our own staff. We think it's a pretty great community where ideas are shared and questions are answered.
This month we're hosting Elliot Jordan to discuss the new tool Escrow Buddy. Escrow Buddy is a brand-new open-source tool for Mac IT and security administrators who escrow FileVault personal recovery keys to their MDM. For Macs that do not have a valid recovery key in escrow, Escrow Buddy securely and transparently generates a new key during the standard macOS login process and triggers its escrow. In this session, Elliot Jordan will cover the reasons FileVault recovery keys might be missing from your MDM, share context on the pitfalls of existing password-prompt workflows aimed at solving the problem, and explain why Escrow Buddy offers a more evolved and scalable solution for modern Mac admins.
Elliot Jordan presented on Escrow Buddy at JNUC this year. If you weren't able to make JNUC or you did make it but didn't make his presentation, I'd highly recommend joining us. It's gonna be excellent!
