3 Ways JumpCloud Elevates Security<\/h2>\n\n\n\nSingle Identity Management<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Admin roles, when tied directly to a user\u2019s primary identity, offer several advantages such as centralized identity management and reducing credential or MFA fatigue associated with maintaining separate user and admin accounts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
JumpCloud’s ability to create admin roles from existing users ensures that when employees leave or change roles, their admin access is automatically revoked, preventing orphaned admin accounts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Additionally, when a user with an admin role needs to access the admin portal, they can authenticate using their primary credentials, with a step-up MFA to ensure secure access to the highly privileged resource.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
High authentication assurance MFA factors to counter modern attacks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Cyber adversaries are evolving their tactics, using phishing, man-in-the-middle attacks, and token theft to bypass traditional MFA methods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With JumpCloud, admins can configure phishing resistant passwordless MFA methods for users with admin roles and secure the admin portal with JumpCloud Go or WebAuthn-based (FIDO2) device authenticators or hardware security keys. This offers advanced, secure access protection, thus ensuring credentials alone are not enough to access the \u201ckeys to the kingdom.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Always-On MFA for secure access to admin portal<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Always-on MFA is essential to safeguard critical systems like the admin portal. This continuous layer of authentication from JumpCloud ensures that only verified users with admin roles are granted access using advanced MFA methods every time they access a sensitive and privileged resource like the admin portal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2 Real-World Outcomes You\u2019ll Achieve<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Streamlined Security Across the Organization<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Simplify and secure identity lifecycle management with centralized control, streamlined access, a high level of security for JumpCloud Admin Portal; plus you can ensure no orphaned admin accounts are left behind, reducing the risk of breaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Regulatory Compliance Made Simple<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Detailed audit logs traceable to the user and their actions based on roles, and always-on MFA help you meet compliance requirements while reducing potential penalties for non-compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1 Action to Take Today<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Admin Portal security is no longer a luxury; it\u2019s a necessity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Organizations must adopt a proactive approach to securing their most privileged accounts. The stakes are high – one breach can lead to financial losses, operational disruptions, and lasting reputational damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As Super Admins (Administrators with Billing) of your organization, it is essential that you manage<\/strong> your admins from existing users and secure<\/strong> their access to the JumpCloud Admin portal right away. JumpCloud\u2019s robust phishing resistant JumpCloud Go, WebAuthn-based device authenticators, hardware security keys, and JumpCloud Protect are all native, fully-integrated MFA methods that you can leverage to do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
