A technician needs to update the software on several hundred Mac laptops. Which of the following is the best method to complete the task?

SSH (Secure Shell) allows secure remote command-line access but is not designed for mass software deployment and management across hundreds of graphical user interface-based laptops.

MDM solutions are designed for centralized management, deployment, and configuration of mobile devices, including Macs, allowing for large-scale software updates, security policy enforcement, and application distribution remotely. This significantly streamlines the process for hundreds of devices compared to manual methods.

RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) is for remotely accessing and controlling a single Windows computer's graphical interface, which is not suitable for managing software updates on hundreds of Mac laptops.

SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol) is for secure file transfers and would require individual file transfers and manual installation on each laptop, making it inefficient for mass software updates.
