I’m a fresh starter here at Grafana Labs, leading one of our teams working on the Grafana Enterprise Stack. As a longtime user of Grafana, I couldn’t wait to see what’s new in versions 1.1 and 1.2 of Grafana Enterprise Metrics (GEM), our scalable, self-hosted Prometheus service. I tried out the shiny features and wanted to share some of the cool things I found.

Ivanti Device and Application Control has historically performed well protecting our customers against these types of threats, but the Mac endpoints can still represent a risk.
