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

AWS Verified Access and JumpCloud<\/h2>\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

What Is AWS Verified Access?<\/h2>\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

Integrating JumpCloud Identity, Access, and Device Management with AWS Verified Access<\/h2>\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
