Getting comprehensive control and visibility over your IT environment is often difficult and stressful for IT, especially during an audit. JumpCloud’s open directory alleviates these issues by providing the tools IT needs to prepare for an audit and ensure compliance ahead of time. Use JumpCloud to view, control, and secure devices that employees use to access work resources, create and manage one, unified identity per user, and ensure that users have the right access privileges all of the time.

It can be hard to achieve and maintain compliance when most IT tasks are dealt with manually… and prone to human error. Use JumpCloud’s open directory to make changes to identities, access rights, and devices in real-time and see them automatically reflected across all connected resources.

In IT environments, it’s common to see data sprawl, which hurts security and makes achieving and proving compliance difficult. Avoid this with JumpCloud’s open directory platform: unify identity, access, and device management and all of the data associated with it under a single pane of glass. Use JumpCloud Insights to consistently view, manage, save, and export data across your environment and quickly detect potential threats or issues to isolate and fix them with just a few clicks.

Identity sprawl is a common problem in the workplace; with a plethora of cloud-based tools just a credit card away, you may struggle folding each new identity created into a closed directory and deliver (and control) access effectively. With JumpCloud’s open integration capabilities, identities can flow into JumpCloud from any connected source, giving you a single source of truth and a way to consistently manage users and the access they require throughout their entire lifecycle. This makes onboarding, offboarding, and role change events easy, accurate, and automated.

Managing identity lifecycles can be chaotic, particularly with disjointed tools, manual processes, and fluid user populations, which often lead to under or, worse, over privileged users. JumpCloud helps you ensure that any access requirements (from any source) are automatically reflected across every connected resource at exactly the right time for every user (even contractors and temporary users). This means that whether a user joins, moves within, or leaves your organization, their access permissions are always correct and securely managed by a single, powerful tool.

In the modern workplace, onboarding and offboarding users can be difficult due to the spread of devices that employees use. With JumpCloud, centrally manage all devices and the access they provide, regardless of operating system, location, or ownership (i.e., personal devices/BYOD vs corporate-owned) within the same group-based permissions used to manage identities. Give users the device flexibility they need to be productive, manage devices consistently with policies, and automate some of the most tedious identity lifecycle management processes.

Technology is constantly evolving, and organizations built on outdated tech with a heavy reliance on manual processes are struggling to compete and grow. To accelerate your own modernization efforts, JumpCloud’s open directory platform can be used as the foundation of your IT stack. Use it to centralize and automate identity, access, and device management, and future-proof your IT decisions. Connect it to, or layer it upon, your existing tools, and seamlessly peel away legacy technology as you realize the benefits of a modern and open cloud-based directory.

Long term investments in Active Directory (AD) can yield powerful workflows and automations, while also stymying efforts to modernize and simplify IT management needs elsewhere; you can’t simply rip and replace AD, but you need more than it offers. Use JumpCloud’s AD integration capabilities to extend your on-prem AD identities to non-domain resources such as Mac and Linux devices, web apps, and more. With a bi-directional identity sync, JumpCloud lets you fully manage your AD users remotely from the cloud while enjoying many other modern capabilities that AD lacks.

Active Directory was once a staple in traditional IT environments, but with the evolution of workplace technology, it just doesn’t deliver what many organizations need to be successful. For those looking to replace AD with a modern, cloud-based directory, you’re in the right place: easily implement JumpCloud and achieve your identity, access, and cross-OS device management needs with no hardware required on premises.

Managing users in a hybrid or fully remote model is an overwhelming task without the right tools. With JumpCloud’s open directory platform, quickly and automatically assign devices, enforce correct access permissions, and create or deactivate identities within a single console, without interrupting the user experience no matter where (or how) employees work.

No matter where employees work, ensuring they have the right access levels can be difficult. With JumpCloud, manage and enforce correct access privileges to applications, systems, networks, and devices in real time, remotely provision and deprovision access to resources as needed, and create and enforce group-based access controls and conditional access policies to ensure that only the right users can access certain resources.

Managing distributed users sometimes requires IT to perform a variety of manual tasks that are tedious, prone to human error, and altogether inefficient. To combat this, JumpCloud has built-in, open integration capabilities along with dynamic groups that allow you to automate advanced identity lifecycle management tasks such as scheduled user activation or deactivation, assigning group membership, provisioning access, device onboarding, and ongoing access management. Use it to improve the user experience, efficiency, and security with automated workflows and group-based control.

The traditional perimeter is irrelevant in any organization that supports remote work — instead, digital identities have become the new perimeter, and thus need direct protection. An effective Zero Trust strategy correctly assigns permissions (nothing more, nothing less) and verifies an identity at every access transaction, whether it’s attempting to access applications, devices, or networks.

Adopting new security measures can hurt the user experience when they are perceived as clunky, disconnected, and tedious. You can avoid this with a Zero Trust approach that uses dynamic access policies, unified authentication, single sign-on (SSO) with layered multi-factor authentication (MFA), as well as group-defined privilege management to reduce the need for IT intervention and simplify the end-user experience while deepening your security posture.

Compliance can be difficult to achieve, especially when tools and processes are disjointed. However, using JumpCloud’s open directory platform to implement a Zero Trust strategy will help you meet SOC, HIPAA, GDPR, and PCI compliance requirements with granular control over user and admin access. Ensure only the right access at the right time across your environment and deploy device-level policies, such as requiring full-disk encryption before access is granted, as prescribed by many regulations and compliance frameworks.
