Deploy Workbrew with Kandji
To help our customers get started with Kandji, a popular Apple MDM solution, we’ve created a tailored deployment guide.The guide walks Kandji administrators through:
- Available options for deploying Workbrew with Kandji
- How to integrate the two systems, and configure Library Items
- Assignment Maps to get Workbrew onto their devices.
Speaking about how the Workbrew integration has helped his customers, Kandji Sr. Solutions Engineer Danny Hanes said:
"Every time a Kandji customer mentions they use Homebrew, I always tell them to check out Workbrew. It's a fantastic tool for allowing developers to perform their job, without compromising security."
After following the guide and integrating Workbrew and Kandji, your organisation will be able to leverage the incredible package ecosystem of Homebrew, whilst maintaining security, compliance, and management priorities.
Administrators can now keep their fingers on the pulse of what packages developers find indispensable, without losing sight of potential vulnerabilities and open source licensing considerations.
Every developer has started a new job with a tedious day of installing developer tools: with Kandji and Workbrew, new devices can be ready to go on Day 1, with your organization’s stack rolled out automatically with `brew` commands and configurations.
"This deployment guide is all about speed, security, and simplicity. Our partnership with Kandji brings together the best of Mac device management and developer productivity—giving teams a seamless, secure way to get up and running with the tools they need."
— Vanessa Gennarelli, COO at Workbrew

3. IT Admins have questions. We weren’t sure what to expect, but so many folks had specific implementation queries. Others were curious about what Workbrew is up to. It was a non-stop flow of awesome conversations, and we ran out of Homebrew Cheat Sheets and Implementation Guides.
4. MacAd.UK has great bean bag chairs – the Chill-Out Zone was a super comfortable place to talk about CVEs.
5. The wonderful MacAdmins Foundation offers grants for folks who want to attend but aren’t in a position to fund the trip. For those looking to attend MacAdmins PSU, their applications are open.
A big thank you to the MacAD.UK team and we’re excited to be back next year.
