Iru(Formerly Kandji)

What is Iru?

Iru, formerly known as Kandji, is a comprehensive, integrated software platform designed for modern IT and security teams. It unifies endpoint management, identity security, and compliance into a single, cohesive system. The platform provides a centralized view of all users, applications, and devices within an organization, enabling administrators to secure access, protect endpoints, and maintain continuous, audit-ready compliance.

Engineered to manage a diverse device ecosystem, Iru supports Apple devices (Mac, iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, Vision Pro), Windows, and Android. It operates through a single, lightweight agent, simplifying deployment and reducing the toolset complexity that often hinders productivity. By integrating artificial intelligence through Iru AI, the platform automates critical tasks, provides intelligent insights, and ensures that security and management actions are performed with full context of the user, device, and application environment.

Why Choose Iru?

• Integrated Platform: Eliminate tool sprawl by managing endpoint security, device management, identity, and compliance from one dashboard. This single-pane-of-glass approach saves time and reduces administrative overhead.
• AI-Powered Automation: Iru AI is built into the core of the platform, automating everything from compliance evidence collection to threat detection. It uses a proprietary Context Model to understand relationships between users, apps, and devices for smarter, safer actions.
• Flexible Management Styles: Iru caters to different team workflows. Administrators can use a fully visual, point-and-click interface for rapid configuration and deployment, or leverage a "configuration-as-code" model for granular control, versioning, and peer-reviewed changes.
• Enhanced Security Posture: The platform combines Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR), Vulnerability Management, and passwordless identity to create a robust security framework. It actively stops zero-day exploits and provides real-time threat containment.
• Superior Employee Experience: By enabling zero-touch deployment and automated patching for over 230 applications, Iru ensures that employees have the tools they need without disruptive IT interventions, boosting productivity and satisfaction.

Advanced Features of Iru

• Iru AI: At the heart of the platform, Iru AI connects data across all modules. It powers compliance automation by tailoring controls from frameworks, assists in threat detection with purpose-built machine learning models, and provides strategic insights for device management.
• Configuration-as-Code: For teams that require precise control and auditability, this feature allows you to manage your device fleet like a software project. Every configuration change can be versioned, reviewed in a pull request, and rolled back from your repository.
• Passwordless Workforce Identity: Move beyond traditional passwords with a secure, user-friendly identity solution. It utilizes device-bound passkeys and one-step multifactor authentication to grant secure, single sign-on access to applications.
• Automated Patching & Auto Apps: Iru's library of over 230 Auto Apps enables zero-touch, automated patching. This ensures that third-party applications are always up-to-date, closing security vulnerabilities without manual intervention.
• Adaptive Evidence Mapping: A key component of the compliance module, this AI-driven feature automatically collects and maps evidence to security controls. It keeps your organization continuously audit-ready and simplifies demonstrating compliance.
• Assignment Maps: This visual configuration tool allows administrators to effortlessly build and trace deployment logic, making it simple to assign policies, apps, and scripts to specific device groups in minutes.
• Guided Migration Tools: Iru's Migration Agent automates the process of switching from another MDM, migrating thousands of Mac devices within days with minimal user interaction. Compliance customers can also migrate frameworks, requirements, and controls from Vanta, Drata, Sprinto, or Secureframe in just a few clicks.

Modules of Iru

• Endpoint Management: Provision devices, enforce security policies, and automate software updates across Apple, Windows, and Android fleets using a single lightweight agent.
• Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR): Detect, investigate, and automatically contain threats in real-time. This module uses purpose-built ML models and in-house security research to protect against emerging threats.
• Vulnerability Management: Unify vulnerability detection, prioritization, and remediation. It provides the fastest app inventory updates and leverages zero-touch patching for rapid remediation.
• Workforce Identity: Eliminate passwords and provide seamless single sign-on with device-bound passkeys and live device posturing to ensure only trusted users on trusted devices can access resources.
• Compliance Automation: Stay continuously audit-ready with AI-generated controls, automated evidence collection, and cross-functional visibility for compliance tasks.
• Trust Center: Accelerate sales and procurement cycles by providing a public-facing portal that demonstrates your organization's security and compliance posture, with an AI-powered assistant to answer questions.

How to Use Iru?

Getting started with Iru is designed to be a rapid and intuitive process. The platform allows organizations to go from initial setup to a fully configured state within hours, not weeks. The typical workflow involves deploying the single Iru agent to all endpoints, which can be automated through zero-touch deployment for new devices.

Once devices are enrolled, administrators can use the visual interface and Assignment Maps to build configuration profiles. This involves defining policies, security settings, and application deployments and assigning them to specific groups of devices. For more advanced control, teams can utilize the configuration-as-code workflow to manage changes through a Git repository.

Day-to-day management involves monitoring the fleet through the unified dashboard, responding to security alerts from the EDR module, and ensuring vulnerabilities are patched automatically. The compliance module works continuously in the background, collecting evidence and mapping it to controls, requiring minimal manual input to stay audit-ready.
