Today, @fleetctl and @AnthropicAI announced Fleet’s participation in Project Glasswing. Security has been a primary focus for Fleet since Zach and I incorporated the company (6 years ago today!) and we’re excited to get access to Anthropic’s latest frontier models to make Fleet, and our customers, more secure.

Since Fleet is open source, the learnings and security improvements we develop are public and open to the world. We hope these improvements help other vendors and collaborators increase the security of their solutions too. Contributions welcome!

@iansltx @vanamerongen Good guess

[Mike McNeil @mikermcneil]

@dizlexic That’s precisely the question 🎯

[Mike McNeil @mikermcneil]

Nowadays, every employee has an executive assistant (EA). They're called “agents”. Assumptions we used to make about what employees will and will not do with their work computers and their work accounts, are falling apart. It’s time to speak frankly about account sharing between executives and their assistants…. because it’s almost exactly the same problem shared by every other employee and their AI agents.

The good news is that organizations are solving this problem today, and improving the basics at the same time: reducing ticket volume by 25%, compressing endpoint maintenance effort by 50-80%, and improving employee experience while they’re at it.

In my job as CEO of @fleetctl, I talk with customers every day using Fleet and @okta to enable new ways of working for hundreds of thousands of their employees running Windows, Apple, and even Linux. And with some new integrations we’re about to announce, it’s getting even easier to get your kicks.

👆If any of that sounds interesting, you should probably check out my talk in Vegas this week at #oktane 2026:

🕴️“Every employee has an EA now”

by Savannah (my EA) and yours truly

Fleet is fully integrated with Omarchy and arch Linux, so you can let employees choose or standardize on a distro while remaining compliant with ISO, SOC2, PCI, NIST, FedRAMP, and more.

[DHH @dhh]

Need to manage a whole fleet of machines with Omarchy? Then Fleet's MDM solution is fully integrated. Very cool to see! https://t.co/5vmsYbVT8J

@HoodiPulisic @bossriceshark @kimmonismus I don’t really disagree with you that they’re mostly unrelated, but for the sake of debate class:

If the swarms are based on open source code, it’s possible to understand the nature of what they’re doing.

[Mike McNeil @mikermcneil]

True, not *exactly*, not yet. But Fleet added remote lock, remote wipe, disk encryption with key escrow, full software inventory. Zero touch enrollment to drop ship Linux computers to new hires is even possible now with several hardware partner resellers. (Good enough for thousand-strong desktop Linux fleets at top, publicly traded GPU manufacturers, computer networking companies, etc, and for hundreds-strong fleets at many other banks, universities, hospitals, and other organizations.)

Some days it seems surreal, but it really has become feasible to use Linux at work, and it’s catching on. A brave new world

[Mike McNeil @mikermcneil]

@HoodiPulisic @bossriceshark @kimmonismus To ban open source is to illegalize private free innovation, open collaboration between peers, and, effectively, science.

@DraftyBastard @Bitterman59 @IceSolst what’s the ideal patching UX, to you? (the employee side)

[Mike McNeil @mikermcneil]

@dinodaizovi It’s especially gnarly for those e-commerce prod environments that, Cinderella-like, shed their fault tolerant design every retail black friday and freeze everything. The final frontier of DevOps

[nim @eminimnim]

Vibe hardware is here.

I gave Astra my credit card and asked for a Teenage Engineering-style mini DJ controller.

It generated a concept image, sourced parts, read Chinese datasheets, built a CAD model, ordered everything, then made a Blender animation showing how to assemble it.

@dhh @berenddeboer @mischavdburg Berend, if you identify any blockers to moving forward with Linux in the enterprise using Fleet, just let me know. https://t.co/7hx4L59mm3

@impstrsyndrome @DecryptedTech @bettersafetynet Seeing it happen more frequently on fleets of 100s/1000s/10,000s of Windows devices. (Especially in mixed environments where there’s also some Macs, Linux, mobile, leftover SCCM)
