The Out-Of-Date OS threat category feature detects whether the OS of the device needs to be updated. Keeping devices up to date with the latest OS as promptly as possible can help minimize the impact of security vulnerabilities.
With this threat category, you can configure how frequently administrators receive summary email notifications, and also trigger a notification for end users to receive, informing them that they need to upgrade their device to the latest OS version.
With this threat category, you can configure:
Admin summary email notifications
Out-of-Date OS end-user notifications
To configure Out-Of-Date OS threat detection in Jamf Security Cloud, select , then scroll down to the Device list.
Admin Summary Email Notifications
These email notifications are a summary of threats across the organization's devices, and aggregate the threat data to provide a comprehensive overview of the exposure to a certain risk.
The summary email notifications are sent once for each defined period, so admins do not receive an excessive number of emails.
The content of the summary email notifications is set by Jamf and so cannot be customized by admins.
An OS upgrade should only be triggered if a newer version is available for the device model, on the same carrier, and for the same territory.
After you have enabled the Admin Summary for a threat category, you can set the frequency for the notifications.
Out-of-Date OS End User Notification
You can trigger an in-app notification for end users to receive when their OS version is out of date. This informs them that they need to upgrade to the latest OS version for their device by specifying the number of days after a new version has been released.
