Apple Releases Ventura

Apple releases a new major version of its operating system

Halloween’s around the bend. In lockstep with the hair-raising holiday, Apple may be adding to sysadmin’s fears by releasing macOS Ventura.

Now, there’s no doubt end users are excited about Ventura’s release. After all, it means there will be a heap of new features, and your team’s bound to experience significant productivity gains.

But should admins be worried about managing and securing macOS Ventura without interruptions? Nope. Automox has your back.

Day zero support for Ventura

With Automox, administrators can rest assured they’ll have help running and securing macOS Ventura without interruptions – and that starts today.

On top of that, you’ll retain the configuration management confidence you’re used to – across your enterprise – with Apple’s newest OS release, macOS Ventura (13.0).

What is macOS Ventura?

Ventura is Apple’s successor to Monterey. It’s the 19th major release of macOS, Apple’s desktop operating system.

If this release follows suit to previous major OS releases from Apple, it should become available around 10 am Pacific Time today, Oct 24, 2022.

Why are Ventura’s features so exciting?

We’re particularly thrilled about Ventura’s new feature offerings. To get you amped, too, we’re sharing the full feature preview list from Apple here.

But, let’s zoom in on some of the new features we’re super pumped about:

Rapid Security Response

This is huge. macOS will finally get security improvements between regular software updates. That way, Apple can quickly fix zero days or other security issues and apply them to devices without getting bogged down by the typical update process.

Passkey Support

Apple touts a new sign‑in method that is end-to-end encrypted and safe from phishing and data leaks. Amazing, right? They claim it will be stronger than all common two-factor authentication types. We sure hope so!

Stage Manager

This feature aims to increase productivity by organizing apps and windows into a single view – complete with simple switching between windows and apps.

Continuity Camera

Are you tired of terrible angles when video-chatting with your laptop? Now, your iPhone can double as a webcam when you’re meeting on your macOS. Radical indeed.

Most anticipated features of Ventura

Along with the features listed above, there’s a lot of great innovation being delivered with this update.

• The iCloud shared library

• Edits and changes that will sync everywhere

• Virtual collaboration improvements

• New productivity app and real-time collaboration
