Today\u2019s users access corporate applications from just about anywhere \u2014 whether at home, in the office, or while traveling. This means the majority of traffic is now connected over untrusted networks beyond IT admins\u2019 control, which increases the attack surface for malicious actors to exploit. To enable secure frictionless access, IT administrators demand better visibility and control for user access to their AWS and IT resources, including conditional access based on a user\u2019s identity and their device\u2019s security state. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
AWS Verified Access is now available for use with JumpCloud as the identity provider. This allows JumpCloud admins to grant secure access to private applications in AWS from anywhere, without using a VPN, and without making significant changes to their IT environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
JumpCloud is an open directory platform that provides secure, frictionless user access from any device to any resource \u2014 including applications, workloads, and resources hosted in AWS \u2014 regardless of location. JumpCloud\u2019s ability to integrate with AWS Verified Access, announced today at the 2022 Re:Invent conference, is a major step to solve the issue of securing distributed users, managing private application access, and accelerating time to troubleshoot access requests to private applications hosted in AWS.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n AWS Verified Access is a new capability that delivers secure access to private applications hosted in AWS without a VPN. Verified Access continuously evaluates each access request in real-time based on contextual security signals such as identity, device security status, and location. Verified Access then grants the user the correct access based on the configured security policy for each application, thereby improving the security posture of the organization. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Built on Zero Trust<\/a> principles, Verified Access enables teams to create, configure, and manage a fine-grained set of policies for private application access. In short, AWS Verified Access enables IT, network, and security teams to improve the security of their AWS-hosted applications, simplify policy implementation and enforcement for application access, and deliver a seamless user experience without the need for a VPN.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Many customers today utilize JumpCloud as their primary identity provider. JumpCloud\u2019s full suite of identity, access, and device management makes it easy to configure, monitor, and secure AWS services in their environments. The new integration of JumpCloud with AWS Verified Access enables the following additional capabilities:<\/p>\n\n\n\n AWS Verified Access provides secure access to applications by evaluating each access request using fine-grained policies and granting access only to trusted users. Using Verified Access, customers can group applications with similar security needs. They can also use human-readable and easy-to-configure policies to govern access, ensuring a minimum-security bar for the entire group (a Zero-Trust approach). <\/p>\n\n\n\n In addition, customers can create a more specific access policy for each application in the group. Verified Access supports JumpCloud as an Identity Provider through the AWS IAM Identity Center (successor to AWS SSO<\/a>) or via the OpenID Connect (OIDC) protocol, which is also supported by JumpCloud. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Customers can easily add all of this without major changes or additional integrations to their existing JumpCloud and AWS deployments. Customers can connect Verified Access with JumpCloud through AWS IAM Identity Center through a few easy steps. <\/p>\n\n\n\n You will need the following before you can get started:<\/p>\n\n\n\n To explore the full range of JumpCloud\u2019s integrations with AWS, sign into your JumpCloud admin console.
