Iru surpasses 6,000 customers with AI-powered IT and security platform expansion

Iru, an AI-powered IT and security platform formerly known as Kandji, has surpassed 6,000 customers globally following an expansion beyond Apple device management into comprehensive enterprise security. The Miami-based company rebranded in October 2025. In 2025, Iru launched six new products including cross-platform endpoint management for Apple, Windows and Android, endpoint detection and response, workforce identity solutions, and compliance automation. The company released over 70 platform enhancements and added 154 automated applications to its catalogue, bringing the total to over 380 titles. Iru's Security Research Team discovered 28 macOS vulnerabilities and four novel malware families, adding over 175 detection models whilst stopping more than 10,000 threats across customer environments. The platform uses proprietary AI architecture to unify endpoint security, identity management and compliance automation.

Kandji rebrands as Iru and launches AI-powered unified IT and security platform

Kandji rebrands as Iru and launches ai-powered unified IT and security platform. Apple Inc. device management platform firm Kandji Inc. today announced that it has changed its name to Iru and launched a new artificial intelligence-powered information technology and security platform that unifies identity and access, endpoint security and management and compliance automation into a single system. The name change to Iru reflects an entirely new approach to the way IT and security teams operate by replacing stitched-together point tools with a single system. The change of name also comes with new product offerings, starting with the Iru Context Model, a unified context layer that builds a living map across users, apps, devices, posture, policy and events. The Iru Context Model is accompanied by Iru AI, which can turn live context into insights, actions and audit-ready evidence to deliver outcomes point solutions can't match. Offering a unified platform is key to new offerings, with Iru noting that research indicates that nearly half of teams cite overlapping tools as a top challenge. The company argues that enterprise IT and security teams juggle dozens of point tools with separate consoles and data silos, which leads to no shared context or single view, fractured workflows, constant tab switching and dropped handoffs. "The stack is the problem. With Iru, we collapse the stack and give IT and security teams time and control back," said Chief Executive Adam Pettit. "What made Kandji work was elegance through abstraction and automation as a force multiplier. With Iru, we've translated that approach into a new platform for the AI era." The Iru platform consists of six integrated products, starting with Workforce Identity, which offers passwordless single sign-on with hardware-backed passkeys, context-aware access to every app, stronger security and a better user experience. Endpoint Management offers advanced automation to onboard users, update apps and enforce policies across Apple, Windows and Android; Endpoint Detection and Response offers machine learning-enhanced detections with autonomous containment and remediation to stop advanced and emerging threats in real time across Mac and Windows; Vulnerability Management offers full visibility into software risk on Mac and Windows with autonomous response to patch vulnerable software, prioritized by Iru AI and Compliance Automation gives users access to AI-native compliance automation that tailors custom controls, breaks them into tasks, and maps evidence automatically, keeping you audit-ready. The platform is rounded out with Trust Center, a public portal to share certifications, reports and security posture to accelerate deals, with security questionnaires answered by Iru AI. The Iru platform is available today for new customers, while existing Kandji customers will transition to the new Iru experience with enhanced capabilities. Image: Kandji.
