Jamf rolls out biometric passkeys as stolen credentials linked to 22 percent of breaches
Jamf unveils biometric security

Stolen credentials were responsible for 22 percent of breaches last year, according to Jamf.

The security company reported that the issue is even more acute in basic web applications, where 88 percent of breaches involved compromised credentials. To address this gap, Jamf has introduced Jamf ID passkeys, which allow users to sign in with biometrics or a PIN, minimizing the risk of theft or replay attacks. The service is available for free with every Jamf ID.

Jamf has previously introduced a mobile forensics tool designed to detect spyware such as Pegasus on executive devices in 22 minutes, according to a recent product launch. In a separate initiative, the company released a guide warning that slow laptops can harm productivity and employee retention, as reported in a previous report. These efforts reflect Jamf's ongoing focus on enterprise device security and user experience.
