Apple’s continued growth in corporate IT is again reflected in the news that Mosyle has introduced new MDM business-oriented services and provided $ 196 million in Series B funding. This shows the rapid extent to which Apple continues to boil in the corporate space.
Zone of growth of the enterprise
“Over the past year, we have aggressively implemented innovative security and management features that have used MDM as an environment to extend security to other layers of the device,” Mosyle founder and CEO Alkir Araujo said in a statement.
The company’s funding circle was led by New York-based global private equity and venture capital firm Insight Partners.
“With the launch of its Apple Unified Platform, Mosyle is one of the first companies to elegantly integrate MDM with a wider range of mobile security solutions,” said Rebecca Liu-Doyle, Managing Director of Insight Partners. “This funding is a testament to this vision and our belief that companies demand more than traditional MDM in today’s hybrid work environment.”
Funding also reflects the growing scale of interest in the whole of Apple in the corporate ecosystem.
Despite the various challenges, Apple continues to be a strong investment, and this positive brilliance seems to extend to many of its partners. As computer sales fall, Mac sales continue to risedriven by the demand of the enterprise.
That’s great, but what’s also true is that the company’s growing growth in corporate IT is sparking a wave of service providers and integrators looking to support this growing Apple ecosystem.
This growth is also a visible market opportunity, as seen from Jamf ‘s IPO in 2020.
Probably the first company to sense Apple’s corporate trajectory, Jamf exceeded expectations in its last quarter and will report its latest results on May 10. The company currently has a market capitalization of $ 3.65 billion and has recently made its own major improvements to business services.
With that in mind, it’s easy to believe that Mosyle’s $ 196 million funding round shows the scale of the opportunities investors see in Apple’s ecosystem. Investors know that hundreds of millions of Windows computers will do so must be upgraded over the next two or three years as Windows 11 goes online. They also know that some of this upgrade traffic will inevitably go the way of Apple (as it has for years), leaving much room for a diverse and dynamic, Apple-focused MDM industry to meet the broad needs of Apple. maintenance companies.

Investing in services also makes sense in a context in which some of the larger analysts expect IT spending to focus on integration and services after a pandemic-induced hardware investment. Mosyle saw three-digit revenue growth since 2020
What does Mosyle offer to business customers now?
Mosyle has introduced its new, business-focused MDM (Mobile Device Management) solution, which combines device management solutions, secure endpoints, Internet privacy and security management and ID and application management oversight in the new offering.
In a statement, the company explained the set of features it now provides:
- Improved device management: Provides full MDM for macOS, iOS and tvOS, touchless deployment and automated ongoing management, shared device support, BYOD support and integrations with Google, Microsoft, Active Directory and more.
- Endpoint protection: Deploys 24/7 protection regardless of location, ensuring that devices use the latest macOS security tools, follow leading cybersecurity guidelines, and meet industry compliance mandates. This includes detecting your own antivirus and malware and will continuously scan, isolate, lock and delete infected devices. It also automates the management and security of privileged accounts with Admin On-Demand, a privileged access management solution for macOS.
- Internet privacy and security: Provides encrypted DNS functionality that automates web filtering and encryption exclusively at Apple endpoints.
- Identity management: Combines single sign-on (SSO) functionality with two-factor authentication to protect Apple’s enterprise devices. It supports Okta, Ping Identity, Microsoft 365, Google Workspace and others.
- Application management: Offers the ability to remotely deploy, update and manage any compatible Apple device application.
There is no doubt that companies in this space will start to compete more significantly as they seek to build a presence in a growing industry. Apple’s enterprise ecosystem has never seemed so lively.
