Iru (formerly Kandji)

Unified platform for device, identity, and compliance management

Visit Iru (formerly Kandji)

Iru, formerly Kandji, is an IT and security platform that brings endpoint management, endpoint detection and response, vulnerability management, workforce identity, and compliance automation into one system. It addresses the fragmentation created by separate tools for devices, identity, and compliance, replacing them with a unified layer that gives teams context and control across their environment. The platform supports Apple, Windows, and Android devices, building on the company's original focus on Apple device management.

Core capabilities include enrollment from a single portal, Assignment Maps for conflict-free configuration, Auto Apps for patching across Mac and Windows, security controls and CIS benchmark templates, zero-touch deployment, managed OS updates, and a lightweight agent for Mac and Windows. EDR features cover file and behavioral detections, allow/block rules, storage controls, device isolation, and Amazon S3 integration for SIEM ingestion. Vulnerability Management provides impact analysis and autonomous patching through the Auto Apps catalog. Workforce Identity offers passwordless single sign-on with passkeys and device posturing, while Compliance Automation generates controls and maps evidence. Iru AI, powered by the Iru Context Model, connects agents across identity, endpoint, and compliance, and an MCP server links device fleets to AI build environments such as Claude Code and Cursor.

Iru is built for IT and security teams managing mixed device fleets and consolidating identity and compliance workflows. Products are available individually or together, with quote-based pricing; the pages do not specify a free plan, trial, or seat-based versus usage-based packaging.
