In a fresh episode of the 9to5Mac Security Bite podcast, host Arin Waichulis interviews Jaron Bradley, author and Director at Jamf Threat Labs. They trace how macOS security has shifted over the past decade, spotlighting new attack vectors and defensive tools.

The conversation zeroes in on the rise of infostealer malware, which surged 28% among Mac users, and how attackers now harness AI to bypass notarization checks. Defenders, in turn, deploy AI‑driven EDR to spot subtle persistence tactics in recent reports.

Bradley projects a 2026 threat landscape where macOS will face more sophisticated, AI‑augmented campaigns targeting enterprise data. He urges IT teams to adopt zero‑trust models and continuous monitoring to stay ahead of evolving tactics.

Listeners can dive deeper by exploring Mosyle’s Apple Unified Platform, which automates hardening, compliance, and AI‑powered zero‑trust for millions of devices. Future episodes promise deeper dives into emerging malware trends and defensive best practices.
