You can deploy Chrome policies to your macOS, iOS and iPadOS devices directly from the Jamf Pro console, as well as the Google Admin Console. Here’s a quick demo video showing how this works:

Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) solutions consider internal and external networks to be inherently unsafe and therefore, untrusted. This has been Google’s approach to security for over a decade, and now can be brought into your organization with BeyondCorp Enterprise. By shifting access controls from the network perimeter to individual users and devices, the BeyondCorp approach enables secure work from virtually any location without the need for a traditional VPN.
