Support Linux without policy exceptions
The Smallstep Device Identity Platform™ delivers inventory and management features essential for bringing Linux devices fully under IT control. Engineers can confidently use Linux without creating policy exceptions or security gaps for IT to manage.
Most MDMs don’t support Linux, but we do
Mobile Device Management tools (MDMs) like Intune or Jamf help IT teams orchestrate configurations across large device fleets. However, most MDMs lack Linux support, creating a dilemma for Enterprise IT leaders: either allow Linux machines despite policy gaps or prohibit them altogether. Many companies settle for an awkward middle ground, frustrating both engineers and IT administrators.
