<\/figure>\n\n\n\nKnow Every Device on Your Network<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Admins in JumpCloud can authenticate user and device access via WiFi infrastructure (or, more commonly in remote work environments via a VPN), a key way to know exactly who is on your network. By leveraging JumpCloud\u2019s cloud RADIUS functionality, each device requires network credentials to access the network so you know each device on the network and who owns it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
JumpCloud System Insights surfaces fleet-wide machine information for Mac, Windows, and Linux that updates in near real-time to keep admins appraised of device posture. This is critical data for admins to have access to in a BYOD workplace to ensure that devices are properly encrypted, have the right policies running, and more information specific to OS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition, see what\u2019s happening on JumpCloud-managed devices with Directory Insights, which presents device data you can drill down into to look at things like login attempts and authentications to track activity across your fleet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nBe Able to Protect Corporate Data<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
In the most extreme situations, you need the ability to remotely wipe corporate data from a user\u2019s device. Ideally, your organization\u2019s BYOD policy will allow you to do this as a security measure. This is far less about malicious employees or contractors, and more about protecting devices that are stolen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In these cases, admins should consider enforcing the deployment of company-managed agents onto personal devices if the level or type of access these employees, contractors, or freelancers need is high enough to warrant a more severe response to a potential security incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This would allow an admin to use functionality like JumpCloud\u2019s security commands to address an event in which a device needs to be wiped to protect the data on it. You can do this by executing commands with scripts, or even more simply via point-and-click security commands for Mac and Windows computers from your JumpCloud console. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nEmbrace BYOD Without Sacrificing Security<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
BYOD is both an opportunity and a risk for an organization’s IT department. In many ways BYOD may even be necessary to keep the business growing. Leveraging the right technology that consolidates what you need to enforce security in a BYOD model is essential. JumpCloud can help you lock down your data and networks so that your business can enjoy the benefits of BYOD<\/a>, and we\u2019d be happy to demo that for you.
