Managing your IT assets effectively across various platforms is crucial, and CloudQuery makes it easier than ever by integrating with Jamf. The CloudQuery Jamf Source Integration empowers organizations to create a unified cloud asset inventory, providing visibility into device management and enhancing security, efficiency, and decision-making.

Trusted by companies like Palo Alto Networks and Zendesk, CloudQuery delivers flexibility and power in IT asset management. The Jamf integration provides an efficient way to monitor device compliance, enhance security posture, and streamline operations—all within minutes of setup.

• Comprehensive Asset Inventory: Collect detailed data on devices managed in Jamf, including device enrollments, pre-stages, hardware, and software configurations.
• Customizable Queries: Leverage SQL to analyze and query your Jamf data directly from your database.
• Cross-Platform Integration: Combine Jamf data with other IT or cloud platforms like AWS, GCP, and more.
• Secure Deployment: Keep sensitive data safe with self-hosted options.

With the CloudQuery Jamf integration, you can extract a wide range of data from your Jamf instance and sync it into your preferred database. This includes:

• Device Enrollments: Details about devices enrolled in Jamf, including configurations and enrollment statuses.
• Computer and Mobile Device Data: Information on hardware, operating systems, security settings, and installed software for computers and mobile devices.
• Pre-stage Configurations: Pre-stage setup data for both computers and mobile devices, such as default pre-stages, departments, and mandatory configurations.
• User and Location Data: Assignments of devices to specific users or locations for inventory tracking.
• Purchasing Information: Details about asset procurement and associated metadata.

Getting Started with the Jamf Integration

Here is a step-by-step guide on configuring the Jamf integration and analyzing your Jamf data.

How to Analyze your Jamf data

Now that you have synced Jamf data, we can run queries directly on your Jamf data in your database. Our users find that this gives them a precise analysis of their IT assets. This approach helps them identify issues, track changes, and optimize device management workflows.

We will also show you how to combine your Jamf data with data from other data sources like Wiz.

How to Identify Jamf Devices with Outdated OS

In PostgreSQL, you can determine which devices are running outdated operating systems to prioritize updates with the following query. This query lists the names and operating system versions of all devices in your Jamf inventory running an OS version older than 12.0.

SELECT
    general->>'device_name' AS device_name,
    operating_system->>'version' AS os_version
FROM
    jamf_computers
WHERE
    operating_system->>'version' < '12.0';

How to Track Unassigned Pre-stages in Jamf

You can also identify computer pre-stages that are not assigned to any department.

SELECT
    display_name,
    department
FROM
    jamf_computer_prestages
WHERE
    department IS NULL;

How to Audit Security Configurations with Jamf

Or you can check for devices without disk encryption enabled.

SELECT
    general->>'device_name' AS device_name,
    disk_encryption->>'filevault_enabled' AS encryption_status
FROM
    jamf_computers
WHERE
    disk_encryption->>'filevault_enabled' = 'false';

How to integrate Wiz and Jamf Data

Did you know you can combine data from any other cloud data source with your Jamf data to cross-reference vulnerabilities with device details? Many CloudQuery users combine their Jamf data with their Wiz security data to perform an in-depth security audit.

To get started, visit the Wiz CloudQuery documentation and sync your Wiz data; once synced, you can return here to run queries combining your Wiz and Jamf data for deeper insights.

For example, this query lists the names and operating system versions of devices from your Jamf data that have critical vulnerabilities identified in your Wiz data, helping to pinpoint high-priority risks.

SELECT
    jc.general->>'device_name' AS device_name,
    jc.operating_system->>'version' AS os_version,
    wiz.vulnerabilities->>'vuln_id' AS vulnerability_id,
    wiz.vulnerabilities->>'severity' AS severity
FROM
    jamf_computers jc
JOIN
    wiz_findings wiz
ON
    jc._cq_id = wiz._cq_parent_id
WHERE
    wiz.vulnerabilities->>'severity' = 'critical';
