LOUISVILLE, Colo. — Aug. 23, 2022 — JumpCloud Inc. announced it is a finalist in the SaaS Awards Best Security Innovation in a SaaS Product (B2B, Small Business / SMB) category. Presented by the Cloud Awards, the Best Security Innovation in the 2022 SaaS Awards honors companies that offer an innovative approach to security for any SaaS solution aimed at small to medium sized enterprises.
“Being a finalist in a highly competitive year for the SaaS Awards is a special honor. It shows how JumpCloud is gaining awareness and being adopted by security and IT teams wanting to provide secure access and authentication,” said Greg Keller, co-founder and chief strategy officer, JumpCloud. “We provide a path for businesses to move away from bespoke point solutions to an open directory platform, which reduces the risk of gaps and allows for a holistic security posture.
