Enhancing Software Management with Workbrew

The team at Workbrew has been focused on getting into full production, and they’ve gotten a huge head of steam going in 2024. They’re with us today to talk about SBOMs - Software Bill of Materials - and security in your work environments. Patching remains a really integral part of doing Mac Admin work right, and this critical concept is one we’re going deep on.
