When it comes to securing IT environments, seeing the whole picture in real time matters. Without that, you’ll inevitably struggle to keep systems secure and stay on top of who has access to what.
Over-entitlement and unchecked access permissions leave vulnerabilities that are ripe for exploitation. The shift to remote and hybrid work (and back again) makes it clear identities are the new perimeter. Employees can now access sensitive systems from many different devices and networks. And insider threats, whether intentional or accidental, remain a significant risk to security.
This creates a sprawling attack surface for organizations. The truth is, you may have a hard time spotting unusual or unauthorized activity.
Why?
It comes down to insufficient visibility or messy identity management tool sprawl.
IT and security pros are always juggling priorities. You have to balance security, visibility, and control in a complicated environment. By acquiring Stack Identity, JumpCloud is working to help you stay ahead. This means better visibility into access permissions and stronger protection against identity threats. It also means more control over who accesses what, when, and how.
In short: You need to safeguard your organization with confidence.
Read on to learn more about what this acquisition will mean to you. Spoiler alert—it’s all about better visibility, stronger security, and enhanced control.
