Kandji is now Iru: what changed for IT teams?
Kandji became Iru in October 2025, expanding beyond Apple management. See what the change means and what to review in your device-management setup.
Kandji became Iru on October 22, 2025. The company expanded from its Apple endpoint-management roots into a broader IT and security platform. The name change is part of that expansion, rather than a new name for an unchanged product. Iru’s official announcement explains the transition.
What changed beyond the name?
Iru’s launch brought together six product areas: workforce identity, endpoint management, endpoint detection and response, vulnerability management, compliance automation, and a trust center. Endpoint management covers Apple, Windows, and Android; the announcement describes endpoint detection and vulnerability management for Mac and Windows.
The company also introduced the Iru Context Model and Iru AI to connect information about users, devices, applications, and policies. These are vendor platform capabilities, and the launch announcement provides the details. The features your team uses should follow your needs, licensing, and supported devices.
What does this mean if you already use Kandji?
Iru’s announcement says Kandji customers will transition to the Iru experience. That doesn’t mean every organization needs to adopt every product in the wider platform.
Before changing your setup, review what already works and where you have gaps:
- Device coverage: List the Apple, Windows, and Android devices you need to manage.
- Existing controls: Compare enrollment, app deployment, updates, and security policies with what your team needs today.
- Overlapping tools: Decide whether an additional capability solves a problem before replacing another service.
- Responsibilities: Agree who owns configuration, monitoring, and escalation after any change.
A rebrand is a useful prompt for a review. It isn’t a reason to rebuild a working environment on its own.
