JumpCloud unifies identity and access management (IAM) with cross-OS device management. Linux is a first-class citizen: JumpCloud provides an essential selection of pre-built policies<\/a>, Linux patch management<\/a>, and remote access tools<\/a>. You\u2019re also not forced to use one distro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We made enhancements for Linux throughout 2023 that make JumpCloud an even better choice to manage your endpoints for Zero Trust<\/a> access control and compliance and security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Device Management<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

JumpCloud provides unified endpoint management<\/a> (UEM) for Android, Linux, Mac, and Windows. Admins can now work more efficiently when they\u2019re deploying and supporting devices and users can securely access resources, from anywhere, with the inclusion of modern authentication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remote Access<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve made it possible to deploy remote assistance to Linux devices directly from your browser (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari). JumpCloud\u2019s Remote Access supports these Linux distros<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p><\/div>

Note:<\/strong> Remote Assist may be installed on Linux desktop devices that have a display manager, but Linux servers will be excluded.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Enrollment Commands<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Enrollments<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

JumpCloud provides enrollment commands on Linux devices to ensure that commands run on any endpoint that\u2019s added to JumpCloud. It automates your workloads, improves onboarding experiences, and strengthens device posture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Authentication<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

JumpCloud IAM ensures that each resource has a \u201cbest method\u201d to connect to it from web and common networking protocols to password management. The platform has environment-wide MFA<\/a> and JumpCloud Go<\/a>\u2122, a phishing-resistant credential is available for passwordless authentication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Password Manager<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Password<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We introduced a new downloadable version of the Password Manager<\/a> desktop app for Debian Linux. This version provides more stability than the .appimage format and supports automatic updating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Push Bombing Mitigation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Push<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Attackers are leveraging MFA fatigue through push bombing attacks that can mislead users into authenticating bad actors. JumpCloud supports rules to limit the number of push MFA user attempts for a resource or endpoint. This security control secures cloud apps and the User Portal for Linux desktops and SSH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s Next?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Exciting new capabilities are already in the pipeline for Linux. We\u2019re working to bring JumpCloud Go to Linux in the near future and the introduction of a Password Manager RPM installer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re evaluating UEM solutions, consider that Microsoft Intune only works on Ubuntu Desktop builds. JumpCloud\u2019s supported Linux distros<\/a> include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
