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.

Register and enroll Linux devices to managed inventory

Smallstep leverages ACME Device Attestation to securely identify Linux devices and add them to your trusted, company-owned inventory.

For new Linux devices, Smallstep integrates directly with OEM vendors like Intel and Lenovo, enabling automatic enrollment at purchase.
