Kaspersky Internet Security delivers premium protection against viruses and web threats, safeguards your privacy and defends against identity theft. Casper Suite has the ability to have machines directly download and install Mac App store apps but it requires a Volume Purchasing Account which we aren't able to have. There was some good work being done by Dmitry Rodionov on github in creating a Mac App Store Command Line Interface (mas-cli) but it has a few problems with the latest macOS.

We use Jamf Pro to manage all of our iOS and Mac devices which were previously unmanaged which was a huge security risk for us. Jamf came to our campus and walked us through the setup of the system and gave.
To ensure the upgrade goes as smoothly as possible, review the best practices, tips, and considerations explained in the following Knowledge Base articles:
Preparing to Upgrade the JSS—Explains the best practices for evaluating and preparing for an upgrade.
Upgrading the JSS in a Clustered Environment—Provides step-by-step instructions for upgrading the JSS in a clustered environment.
It is also recommended that you review the Functionality Changes and Other Considerations section to determine if changes made to the Casper Suite since your last upgrade could impact your environment or require you to take action.
This section explains how to upgrade the JSS using the JSS Installers. If the JSS host server does not meet the JSS Installer requirements, you can install the JSS manually using the instructions in the Manually Installing the Jamf Software Server technical paper.
Jamf tests upgrades from v9.8 through the current version.
Installed Components
The following components are installed on the JSS host server by the JSS Installer:
JSS web application
JSS Database Utility
Apache Tomcat
To find out which version of Tomcat will be installed, see the Apache Tomcat Version Installed by the JSS Installer Knowledge Base article.
Note: To take full advantage of all new features, bug fixes, and enhancements available in the Casper Suite, it is recommended that you use the latest version of the JSS and the client applications. To upgrade the client applications, simply replace the existing applications with the latest version.

With JSS you can execute four commands to help you manage the security of managed computers: Lock Computer, Remove MDM Profile, Wipe Computer, or Send Blank Push.
Lock
If a computer that does not contain sensitive data becomes misplaced or stolen, you may elect to simply 'Lock' the computer, which renders the computer unusable to a would-be thief or someone who may encounter the computer during their travels. This command will execute the next time the computer shows up on a network with internet access. If the computer is recovered, you can simply 'Unlock' the computer with a passcode that you define.
Remove MDM Profile
Casper Suite
If a computer no longer needs to be managed for whatever reason, you can choose to send an 'Unenroll' command. This command breaks the relationship between the JSS server and the computer you wish to unenroll; it will execute the next time the computer is on network with internet access. Users of that computer will no longer be able to access Self-Service software, and Admins will no longer be able to assign policies or other management tasks to the computer.
Wipe
If a computer contains sensitive data and becomes misplaced or stolen (or you're unsure if it holds sensitive data), you may elect to send a 'Wipe' command to the computer. This command wipes the contents of the computers hard drive rendering it un-usable; it executes the next time the computers shows up on a network with internet access. If the computer is recovered later it will need to be unlocked and re-imaged.
Send Blank Push
Sends a blank push notification, prompting the computer to check in with Apple Push Notification service (APNs).
- None of these four commands remove the computer from the JSS inventory.
- The 'Wipe' and 'Lock' commands require that the machine has an OS X Recovery Partition. The OS X Recovery Partition is on all new Macs by default, and is created on older Macs when OS X 10.7+ is installed for the first time.
- Log into your JSS site at https://jssmgt.it.cornell.edu/<JSSInstance>
replacing <JSSInstance> with your instance's name.
For example, https://jssmgt.it.cornell.edu/limnology - Click .
- If desired, enter a search string, then click .
- Find the computer you wish to run the remote command against.
- Click the name of the computer.
- Click the Management tab.
- Click the icon for the desired command.
Casper Suite For Mac
Lock and Wipe will ask you to create a passcode, which you can use when the computer is recovered.
The next time the computer contacts the JSS, the command you specified will execute.

You can check the status of these remote commands on the computer's Details page, on the History panel. The Pending Commands tab allows you to cancel a remote command that has not yet run.
