LOUISVILLE, Colo., Dec. 16, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — JumpCloud has added Conditional Access policies to its Directory Platform, enabling IT admins to adopt Zero Trust security from the same cloud platform that they use to manage and securely connect users to IT resources. Conditional Access is policy-driven control that ensures only appropriate users from known networks, known devices and with appropriate privileges, be granted access to company resources. With this release, JumpCloud is making it easier for IT teams to adopt a \u201cnever trust, always verify\u201d model in their organization.<\/p>\n

According to the August 2020 Forrester Research, Inc. blog post, A Look Back At Zero Trust: Never Trust, Always Verify<\/u><\/a>, \u201cOld-school approaches to security aren\u2019t cutting it. Many organizations feel that Zero Trust is too hard, time-consuming, or costly to implement, but it will save your organization in the long run. The strategy leads to the reduced risk of being the victim of a ransomware attack, paying hefty fines, or suffering loss of customer trust following a breach.\u201d<\/p>\n

The JumpCloud Platform\u2019s identity and access control provides core authentication and authorization to employee devices, networks and on-premise and cloud applications. The release of Conditional Access introduces policy-driven security checks to confirm authentications are verified via trusted networks and devices managed by the organization, giving JumpCloud customers an easier path to implement a Zero Trust model.<\/p>\n

“Our clients have a wide range of identity management needs, made even more complex with a global distribution of users, devices, and the networks they’re signing onto,\u201d said Brian Coleman, founder of MatchstickBHM. \u201cWith JumpCloud’s new Conditional Access policies, we can strengthen our Zero Trust posture with trusted identity, network, and device, and manage it through a single admin portal.”<\/p>\n

JumpCloud\u2019s Conditional Access includes four main components to support Zero Trust:<\/p>\n
