Iru in the Current! Highlights from the past month:

🌏 Our team in Sydney hosted a private executive evening on Sydney Harbour during Vivid Sydney. IT leaders, customers, partners, and industry peers came together for a night of connections and conversations.

🌏 Some of the team in Australia attended AWS Summit Sydney. Shoutout to Andy Rana, Arj Minocha, Jake Di Betta, and Andy Edmonds for representing Iru at the event.

🌎 Over in Minneapolis, the ACES Conference for Apple-oriented MSPs and IT professionals didn't disappoint. Weldon Dodd presented with a compliance session inspired by F1 that had the room hooked.

NIST recently announced that NVD will only prioritize enrichment for a subset of CVEs going forward.

This shift to risk-based enrichment means thousands of CVEs won't get the context security teams need to act, if they don't have the right tools in place.

Shwena Kak, Security Researcher at Iru, breaks down what this shift means and how Iru keeps teams covered:

Iru Vulnerability Management stays ahead of NVD's shift to risk-based prioritization. Learn how Iru independently enriches CVE data so security teams get complete, actionable vulnerability intelligence without delays.

While diversity strengthens natural ecosystems, it weakens IT infrastructure.

Running different versions of the same software across your organization isn't just messy, but dangerous. Older versions often lack critical security patches that protect against threats.

Auto Apps in Iru creates consistency, as well as set-it-and-forget-it ease for deployment and patch management across 350+ Mac and Windows apps.

In this Iru in Two, Andy Rana - Director of International Solutions at Iru, shows how easy it is to set Auto Apps up in Iru. Just choose when updates should be enforced, and let Iru handle the rest. Iru even provides proactive prompts to end users for minimal disruption.

Because your fleet's app versions shouldn't be diverse enough for David Attenborough to be able to comment on them. 😉

Endpoints just joined your IT team's AI build environment: introducing Iru MCP.

IT teams are moving from operators running tasks in management consoles to builders shipping workflows with Claude, Cursor, or other AI tools.

With Iru MCP, your endpoints become a programmable surface alongside every other tool in your stack.

What that might look like in practice:
-A new employee joins. An automation assigns their devices to a Blueprint in Iru, gives them access to apps, sends them an email, and posts a welcome message in Slack.
-An audit question lands. One prompt pulls the specific device compliance data needed from Iru.
-The CISO needs a report so he can show progress to the board. Vibe code it in 5 minutes.

How do you plan on using Iru MCP? 👀
