The Week Ending May 14
Topping this week’s Came to Win list is Solution Provider NWN, which is moving up the ranks of leading solution providers with its acquisition of Carousel Industries.
Also making the list this week are Apple device management software maker Jamf for its deal to buy mobile security tech developer Wandera, AWS and Google Cloud for a pair of key management hires, Cisco Systems for a trio of strategic acquisitions, and Intel for launching its latest 11th-Gen Core and Xeon vPro processors.
Apple device management software maker Jamf announced that it’s reached an agreement to acquire cloud and mobile security firm Wandera, in a move to enhance Jamf’s security solutions for enterprise customers.
Minneapolis-based Jamf disclosed that the price tag for the planned acquisition is US$400 million, which would make it the company’s largest acquisition to date.
The Wandera acquisition will help Jamf in its quest to “fill the gap between what users want and what the enterprise requires,” Jamf CEO Dean Hager said in a news release.
The combination of the two companies “will provide our customers a single source platform that handles deployment, Application Lifecycle Management, policies, filtering, and security capabilities across all Apple devices while delivering Zero Trust Network Access for all mobile workers,” Hager said in the release.

Trust has always been a critical consideration for security. Firewalls were invented because people outside the network were inherently less trustworthy than those inside the network, especially when it came to things like accessing data and resources. And zones of trust have always existed inside networks: the DMZ is usually considered less secure than the production network. OT networks have traditionally been completely isolated from IT. And not everyone inside the network has access to things like IP and R&D data. For the most part, trust is an issue that most organizations feel they have locked down.
However, a few things have recently changed to cause many organizations to rethink their strategy and shift to a Zero Trust model.
