JumpCloud\u2019s Q4 2022 roadmap webinar<\/a> introduced features and improvements that coalesce into the open directory platform\u2122, a purposeful platform approach to make JumpCloud work with everything you have today (and everything you\u2019ll need in the future). These updates are being delivered within JumpCloud\u2019s Identity and Access Management<\/a> (IAM), device management<\/a>, and data services. The result is adaptable IT that delivers best-of-breed solutions for every use case. The open directory platform\u2019s Zero Trust security and Extended Detection and Response (XDR) integrations establish identity as the new perimeter for your apps, data, and network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2026And Android support is nearly here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n JumpCloud is the central hub to automate and simplify the entire process of provisioning access for users to any IT environment. This was first made possible by adding third-party integrations (HRIS system, directories) into the platform, with many more to come. User updates and attributes are next, along with scheduled imports. Here\u2019s more of what\u2019s possible in Q4:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Provision from anywhere<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Before we dive into what else is coming, let\u2019s review some new capabilities you may have missed over the past several months. <\/p>\n\n\n\n JumpCloud now secures password managed apps with the launch of Password Manager<\/a>, a decentralized solution that doesn\u2019t use a master password. It takes a hybrid cloud approach where credentials are stored, securely, on local devices. We believe that this provides better security and a more dependable user experience. Password Manager also stores payment cards and secure notes for even greater usability and productivity. Now, let\u2019s explore what\u2019s coming in Q4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The open directory platform connects you to more things, easier and more securely than ever. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Q4 improvements include: <\/p>\n\n\n\n We\u2019re kicking off a major investment into conditional access<\/a> next quarter, beginning with new device conditions for disk encryption and OS version. The result is reduced friction among your users who may be suffering from \u201cMFA fatigue.\u201d Our North Star is to make security smarter and more accessible. The open directory platform uniquely mixes inputs from identities, devices, and location information to make intelligent determinations about which devices should access which applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Adversaries are adapting to security controls and the threat environment is changing. JumpCloud is proactively increasing security posture by displaying city, state, and country in Push notifications. Users can verify location details before approving logins. Adversaries have been “MFA bombing”, issuing repeated push prompts until users accept their requests. JumpCloud is adding a control to prevent that practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n TOTP<\/a> will be provided as an alternative to JumpCloud Protect<\/a> Push for LDAP application logins. This makes certain use cases, such as working with network hardware, simpler for JumpCloud users. Users log in by appending a one-time code to the password field during authentication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n MFA is suitable for many users, but biometrics provide another option for Identity Provider (IdP) authentication to help ensure privileged access to your most valuable IT resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n JumpCloud already supports WebAuthn<\/a> and U2F keys<\/a> for biometric authentication<\/a>. Going forward, the platform will provide greater clarity about which options are available for users. New options include Touch ID for Macs and Windows Hello for the Windows operating system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Simultaneous use of MFA and biometrics is coming in 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Passwordless authentication leveraging trusted certificates will be another authentication option for seamless logins, which increases security and builds device trust. JumpCloud is starting with RADIUS authentications for secure network access because cloud RADIUS<\/a> is the best place for organizations to begin their journey to a passwordless experience. JumpCloud will be adding more certificates across more environments, including an extension to SSO in 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n JumpCloud is tripling its SCIM connector catalog in Q4. SCIM provisioning<\/a> eases the friction admins experience in provisioning and managing user accounts in web applications. Using SCIM, admins can automate the processes of account creation and deletion, as well as maintain synchronization between their core directory and web apps. OpenID (OIDC<\/a>) support extends SSO to homegrown apps, many mobile applications, and expands overall identity federation. OAuth support makes it possible to securely import user updates from applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n These updates, and managed identities, flow into JumpCloud\u2019s attribute-based access control<\/a> (ABAC), enabling the system to continuously audit entitlements for more secure access control. <\/p>\n\n\n\n JumpCloud is introducing the ability to automate and apply membership suggestions to groups. Attributes, such as where users are located, who their supervisor is, or what team they belong to, simplifies provisioning user access to IT resources such as applications and networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Schedule user activation<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Device management extends identity, management, and security to endpoints. Q4 will introduce significant new features for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to have a holistic solution to manage every device endpoint, regardless of the OS. Those features include:<\/p>\n\n\n\nOpen Directory Platform<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
