Macs Now Used or Approved by 55% of Businesses Worldwide
Apple's Macbooks have become a staple in businesses worldwide, with 55% of companies now using or approving them. This shift, driven by employee preference, has led to a significant increase in Macbook adoption across various industries, including Healthcare, Finance, and Government.
Macbooks have come a long way since their introduction in a 1984 Super Bowl commercial. Today, they are integral to many businesses, offering access to corporate resources like file sharing and cloud applications. Their popularity has led to the development of unified patch management solutions by companies such as Saner (SecPod Technologies), NinjaOne, Automox, and ManageEngine Patch Manager Plus, which support automated, centralized patching for Macbooks alongside Windows and Linux.
This growth can be attributed to several factors. Macbooks offer an average device lifecycle cost savings of $843 over a 3-year period, according to a Forrester report. Moreover, they are now widely used in diverse sectors, from Manufacturing and Retail to Education and Government. Securing Macbooks in corporate environments involves a multi-faceted approach, including Asset Management, Vulnerability Management, Risk Prioritization, Remediation, and Threat Detection and Response.
With 55% of businesses now using or approving Macbooks, driven by employee preference, the Macbook's presence in the corporate world is undeniable. Their longevity, cost savings, and wide applicability make them an attractive choice for businesses seeking to enhance productivity and security.
