Kandji, a leading Apple endpoint security platform, announced on July 23, 2025, the launch of Vulnerability Response, a new feature within its Vulnerability Management product, aimed at bolstering cyber resilience for Apple devices in enterprise environments. The solution automates accelerated software updates for over 200 Mac applications based on the severity of detected vulnerabilities, addressing the critical need for rapid remediation. The Verizon 2025 Data Breach Investigations Report notes that 20% of breaches in 2024 resulted from unpatched vulnerabilities, with nearly 75% of companies taking over a month to remediate, leaving systems exposed. Kandji’s unified endpoint agent, unlike competitors requiring multiple tools, streamlines patching workflows, reducing risk exposure by 50% and manual effort by 40%, per Kandji data. Integrated with Device Management and Endpoint Detection & Response, Vulnerability Response positions Kandji as a leader in the $5 billion Apple endpoint security market, projected to reach $10 billion by 2030.

Kandji’s Vulnerability Response, announced on July 23, 2025, enhances its Vulnerability Management product, introduced in February 2025, by automating remediation workflows. “Today’s IT and security teams waste hours managing tools instead of managing risk,” said Justin Safdie, GM of Endpoint Security at Kandji, emphasizing the feature’s efficiency. Key highlights include:
Eliminates Manual Patch Management: Triggers updates based on Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) severity, saving time and reducing human error.
Accelerates Time-to-Remediation: Enforces severity-based update timeframes, addressing vulnerabilities before exploitation, cutting exposure by 50%, per Kandji.
Maintains User Experience: Uses a unified endpoint agent with Apple’s Endpoint Security framework for silent updates or user prompts, minimizing disruption.
Automates Compliance: Builds a repeatable patch process without additional headcount, meeting standards like NIST SP 800-53.
The feature leverages Kandji’s Auto Apps catalog (219 business apps) and integrates with Device Management and Endpoint Detection & Response, offering a single platform for security and compliance.
Founded in 2018, Kandji, valued at $850 million post-2021 $100M funding, serves 1,000+ enterprises, including 20% of Fortune 500 firms, per LeadIQ. Its platform, purpose-built for Apple, supports Mac, iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV, reducing IT workload by 30% via 150+ pre-built automations, per company data. The $5 billion Apple endpoint security market, with 59% of new hires choosing Macs (Cisco), is projected to reach $10 billion by 2030, driven by Apple’s enterprise growth, per 2025 reports. Kandji’s Vulnerability Response, following its February 2025 Vulnerability Management launch, competes with Jamf and Addigy, offering a 25% faster remediation edge, per internal metrics. Its agent, built in Swift, uses Apple’s asymmetric multi-processing for minimal resource impact.
The Apple endpoint security sector faces rising threats, with 20% of 2024 breaches tied to unpatched vulnerabilities, per Verizon’s 2025 DBIR, and 37% of firms taking over three months to remediate, per McKinsey. Posts on X from @KandjiOfficial and @CIOInfluence praise Vulnerability Response’s automation, reflecting positive sentiment, though some note integration challenges for smaller IT teams. Kandji’s proactive research, uncovering macOS vulnerabilities like CVE-2024-54477 and CVE-2024-40783, strengthens its credibility, with 41 pending reports to Apple in 2025. Competitors like CrowdStrike focus on cross-platform, but Kandji’s Apple-exclusive approach and unified agent provide niche dominance. Analysts project 20% customer growth for Kandji in 2025, driven by demand for automated, Apple-specific security solutions.
