JumpCloud delivers the optionality that small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) need to future-proof against changing business requirements without being locked into a single vendor. Our open directory platform makes this possible with a more service-oriented approach that uses federation and modern authentication to secure access, employs automation for dynamic groups, offers more deployment options, and delivers support for the latest OS releases. We\u2019re also hard at work strengthening platform security, enhancing the administrative experience, and responding to customers\u2019 requests that go deeper toward improving the present areas of the platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This webinar recap<\/a> explores what\u2019s arriving in Q3 to give you the freedom and flexibility to access resources with as little friction as possible, no matter where your identities come from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Open Directory Platform<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The open directory platform is extending its directory federation, introducing a new phishing-resistant login experience, and expanding its connectors for HR systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Open Directory Federation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"computer<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Federation leverages web standards to make JumpCloud services available for customers that may not want to use it as their primary identity provider (IdP). We\u2019re introducing the ability to use Okta as your IdP for the Device Login Screen as the first option for external IdPs. Okta\u2019s service doesn\u2019t have integrated unified endpoint management (UEM), and federation makes it easier to adopt JumpCloud to manage devices for better compliance and security. This feature doesn\u2019t replace existing password sync functionality; it adds a different mode of deployment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There will be additional IdPs and more Login Screens to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

JumpCloud Go<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

JumpCloud Go is a hardware-bound credential that leverages TPMs on PCs and Secure Enclave on Apple silicon. That\u2019s just the technology. The experience<\/em> provides you with the fastest way to sign a managed device into the JumpCloud User Portal  using the Chrome browser. Users first sign in with a password and multi-factor authentication (MFA) before a phishing-resistant token is assigned to the device to make logins simpler and more secure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This experience will soon become the new method for macOS and Windows device logins, tying cloud identities to local accounts for better self-service. Additional features such as continuous access evaluation will be added over time to reduce MFA\/login fatigue and improve security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deeper Active Directory (AD) Support<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

JumpCloud is increasing its focus on Active Directory with foundational changes to Active Directory Integration (ADI) syncing to import identities from AD. It\u2019s also becoming much easier to scale with a new deployment model that uses a member server versus a domain controller to configure syncing. That makes it possible to sync multiple domains to JumpCloud at once. We\u2019re also rolling out delegated authentication (think of it as passthrough authentication) to leverage existing credentials from AD without forcing password resets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other major improvements include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
