            <description><![CDATA[At the London Apple Admins December meet up John Britton, CEO of Workbrew, spoke about Homebrew as a powerful and often unsupervised gateway into macOS systems. While security teams focus on MDM, OS patching, and endpoint agents, few are asking the right question: "Who's watching the package manager?" John examines how attackers can exploit common blind spots in Homebrew usage - from malicious third-party taps to outdated, vulnerable formulas that never get updated. We'll walk through realistic abuse paths, including how writable install paths and poor update hygiene can lead to local privilege escalation or even remote footholds. Based on real-world experience helping teams secure their developer setups, we'll present practical, no-nonsense strategies for securing Homebrew in modern Apple environments - without alienating your developers or disrupting your workflows.]]></description>

            <title><![CDATA[Workbrew 1.4 Supercharges Mac Fleet Management with GitHub-Based Approvals, and Free MDM Integration]]></title>
            <description><![CDATA[FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE NEW YORK, NY - June 23, 2025 Workbrew, the secure software delivery platform built on top of the widely-adopted open source tool Homebrew, announced the release of smarter controls, frictionless collaboration, and simplified fleet-wide management-making it easier than ever for IT teams to deliver secure, compliant, and efficient software across Mac environments of any scale. What is Workbrew? Workbrew gives IT admins and security professionals the tools to centrally manage, secure, and automate Homebrew usage across their fleet. By adding policy enforcement, package intelligence, and MDM integration to the Homebrew ecosystem, Workbrew transforms a powerful developer tool into a scalable, secure solution for the enterprise. Launched in 2024, Workbrew includes former engineers and leaders from GitHub, 37Signals, and CloudFlare. What is new and newsworthy? Workbrew 1.4 introduces free MDM connections, GitHub-based approval workflows, and visual dependency insights-all designed to reduce overhead for IT teams while preserving developer agility. With these upgrades: Seamlessly integrates with top MDMs like Jamf, Kandji, Fleet and Microsoft Intune. GitHub-based Default Package Approvals allow developers to request fleet-wide package updates via pull request, keeping workflows auditable and collaborative. Dependency Insights reveal package relationships to avoid accidental disruptions. Alert routing and domain controls provide more precision and oversight across fleets of any size. These new features make it easier to shape how software is installed across your organization while reducing friction for everyone involved. What is at stake for enterprises? Without visibility or control, unmanaged Homebrew usage creates blind spots in security, compliance, and support. Engineering teams may unknowingly duplicate installs, violate license terms, or depend on untracked packages-risking outages and audits. Enterprises often respond by limiting open source tooling altogether, stifling developer productivity. Workbrew 1.4 helps strike the right balance: empowering teams to move quickly, while enabling IT to enforce smart, scalable guardrails across every device. Workbrew 1.4: Key Innovations MDM Connections for All – Install and manage Workbrew via MDM with no added cost or complexity. GitHub Approvals – Enable package requests via pull request; sync approved changes fleet-wide. Dependency Insights – See what packages rely on each other before making changes. Custom Alerts – Route policy alerts to the right channels with targeted, noise-free notifications. Modern Infrastructure for the Mac-First Enterprise Workbrew is quickly becoming the standard for managing Homebrew environments across fast-scaling fleets, modern IT teams, and organizations operating in regulated or complex environments. With native MDM support, automated software governance, and real-time package visibility, Workbrew continues to serve as a critical layer in the modern macOS stack. Availability Workbrew 1.4 is available now. MDM Connections, Dependency Insights, and core enhancements are included in all plans. GitHub Approvals, custom alerts, and email domain controls are available on Pro and Enterprise tiers.

Being a Jamf user I created a policy that ran a script to install Homebrew to my mac, my mac VMs and test mac. It kinda worked. I had problems with the $PATH and I was unable to install brew on my test machines during enrolment with tools like Jamf Setup Manager because Homebrew wants to install to a user profile. To install packages I needed I created scripts in Jamf that were pushed out with policies. This just got messy. To solve this problem I started to use Workbrew.]]></description>

            <title><![CDATA[Workbrew 1.3 Brings Precision and Visibility to Software Supply Chain Management, Elevates Default Package Experience Across All Plans]]></title>
            <description><![CDATA[FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE NEW YORK, NY - June 23, 2025- Workbrew, the secure software delivery platform built on top of the widely-adopted open source tool Homebrew, announced the release of Version 1.3, which delivers stronger access controls, smarter software rollout, and real-time visibility to help teams and enterprises manage Homebrew at scale with clarity and confidence. What is Workbrew? Workbrew gives IT admins and security professionals the tools to centrally manage, secure, and automate Homebrew usage across their fleet. By adding policy enforcement, package intelligence, and MDM integration to the Homebrew ecosystem, Workbrew transforms a powerful developer tool into a scalable, secure solution for the enterprise. Launched in 2024, Workbrew has grown to a global team of 10 with former engineers and leaders from GitHub, 37Signals, and CloudFlare. What is new and newsworthy?

From the Co-founders of Workbrew: “This release focuses on precise controls and flexibility for IT admins. Said John Britton, CEO & Co-founder of Workbrew. Within large organizations, admins need to be able to set policies from the team-level to the device-level, and trust that the policies will be easily enforced s“Design builds trust – and with Workbrew’s consistent improvements, new features and improved UX experience, we’re sending a signal to admins everywhere that we hear their priorities, see their needs, and that we’ll do our level best to serve them. ,” adds COO & Co-founder Vanessa Gennarelli. Modern Infrastructure for the Mac-First Enterprise Workbrew is quickly becoming the standard for managing Homebrew environments across fast-scaling fleets, modern IT teams, and organizations operating in regulated or complex environments. With native MDM support, automated software governance, and real-time package visibility, Workbrew continues to serve as a critical layer in the modern macOS stack. Availability Workbrew 1.3 is available now. Features like Default Packages, Brew Adopt, and access mode alerts are included in all plans. Advanced controls for dynamic policies, CVE alerts, and multi-destination notifications are available on Pro and Enterprise tiers.

            <title><![CDATA[The Workbrew Story]]></title>
            <description><![CDATA[In this episode of Open Source Ready, Mike McQuaid and John Britton, co-founders of Workbrew, share the origin story of their secure software delivery platform. The discussion begins with their deep roots in the open-source ecosystem—especially their long-time involvement in maintaining Homebrew, the widely adopted macOS package manager used by tens of millions of developers. The conversation explores: Why Workbrew Exists: The motivation behind building Workbrew came from the realization that although Homebrew is beloved by developers, it was never built with organizational scale, security, or compliance in mind. Workbrew fills this gap by enabling enterprises to manage Homebrew deployments securely, at scale. Challenges in Enterprise Open Source: Mike and John detail the friction companies face when trying to operationalize open-source tooling across large, security-conscious environments. They share how Workbrew brings observability, policy enforcement, and zero-touch deployment to this ecosystem. Product Vision and Philosophy: The founders reflect on their product philosophy—ensuring that developers retain the flexibility and speed they love while giving IT, security, and compliance teams the control they require. Building a Business Around Open Source: The episode dives into the nuances of monetizing open-source infrastructure responsibly and sustainably, discussing how Workbrew creates value without compromising the open-source spirit of Homebrew. The Path Forward: They wrap up with their vision for the future of developer environments, aiming to make secure software delivery seamless for every team using Macs and open-source tools. This episode offers a behind-the-scenes look at how two open-source veterans are transforming developer tooling into a secure, enterprise-grade platform—without losing sight of what developers love.]]></description>

            <title><![CDATA[Workbrew 1.2 Protects Software Supply Chain for Teams and Enterprises, Expands Free Plan to Include Default Packages]]></title>
            <description><![CDATA[FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE NEW YORK, NY – April 28, 2025 — Workbrew, the secure software delivery platform built on top of the widely-adopted open source tool Homebrew, announced the release of Version 1.2, which includes an expansion of their generous Free plan, and features to fortify the software supply chain of enterprises everywhere. What is Workbrew? Workbrew gives IT admins and security professionals the tools to centrally manage, secure, and automate Homebrew usage across their fleet. By adding policy enforcement, package intelligence, and MDM integration to the Homebrew ecosystem, Workbrew transforms a powerful developer tool into a scalable, secure solution for the enterprise. Launched in 2024, Workbrew has grown to a global team of 10 with former engineers and leaders from GitHub, 37Signals, and CloudFlare. What is new and newsworthy?

Engineering and security leaders may not even be aware of the number of packages, the various versions, and the mix of licenses in their stack—leaving them open to vulnerabilities and compliance violations. Not wanting to risk their software supply chain, all too often firms prevent the use of open source tooling, which prevents teams from garnering efficiency and productivity gains. New features from Workbrew in this release fortify their stack while enabling teams to move faster. Workbrew 1.2: Key Innovations Stronger Policy Engine – New policies for Allowed Taps, Forbidden Licenses, and Automatic Upgrades help enforce internal standards and mitigate risk.

Our goal is to give teams more control, stronger compliance, and less manual work as they scale their fleets.” From the Co-founders of Workbrew: “Workbrew 1.2 is a major milestone in our journey to revolutionize software management at scale,” said John Britton, CEO & Co-founder of Workbrew. “By combining stronger security policies, smarter automation, and an intuitive user experience, we’re giving teams unprecedented power to innovate faster without compromising on control or safety.” “In today’s security-conscious climate, Workbrew 1.2 gives IT leaders peace of mind without slowing down development,” adds COO & Co-founder Vanessa Gennarelli. “It’s about building safety into the workflow – a balance where developers have the freedom to use the best tools, and security teams have the oversight to protect the business. With these new policy features, our customers can accelerate development while staying fully compliant and secure.” Modern Infrastructure for the Mac-First Enterprise Workbrew is quickly becoming the standard for managing Homebrew environments across fast-scaling fleets, modern IT teams, and organizations operating in regulated or complex environments.
