To reach its conclusions Jamf anonymously examined a sample group, including tens of thousands of Macs and 1.7 million iOS and Android devices. The company also uncovered some interesting, non-security-related insights, such as determining that Mac market share grew by 16.4% between 2024-2025. And while this has turned apple devices into attractive targets, the platforms’ inherent security advantages mean good device management (along with good employee education) should help protect your deployments.
“As Apple devices continue to expand across the enterprise, the selected security solutions should be built specifically for the Apple ecosystem, not adapted from a Windows-first approach,” Jamf said. “Organizations should prioritize security products architected from the ground up for macOS, ensuring that threat detection, compliance enforcement and response capabilities are fully aligned with how Apple platforms operate, not treated as an afterthought.”

The report also notes that Trojan-style attacks have spiked in the last 12 months, and now account for more than 50% of malware.
