LOUISVILLE, Colo. \u2014 April. 18, 2023 \u2014 <\/strong>JumpCloud Inc.<\/a> today announced it has acquired the technology of Zercurity, a UK-based cybersecurity firm offering advanced device-based monitoring, compliance, benchmarking, and risk-mitigating capabilities.

By adding Zercurity\u2019s technology into JumpCloud\u2019s platform, customers will benefit from a deeper, more advanced, set of capabilities to better protect their workforces. Deeper device trust and posturing, sophisticated asset management, and control and compliance benchmarking and reporting are examples of the depth JumpCloud customers will benefit from in supporting their mission to secure their global workforces. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are committed to offering organizations a simple, cost-effective method to meet the identity transformation goals of modern, cloud-forward organizations,\u201d said Greg Keller, co-founder and chief strategy officer, JumpCloud. \u201cAdding Zercurity\u2019s solutions enriches JumpCloud\u2019s platform and gives IT teams everywhere a more robust, unified approach to security and IT management, one that is a huge improvement over juggling disparate point solutions both for employees and the IT admins who manage them. We\u2019re excited for Zercurity to contribute to our continued innovation and deliver even more value to JumpCloud\u2019s customers.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur vision for a streamlined approach that allows SecOps, ITOps, and exec teams to orchestrate a systematic response for complete security aligns perfectly with JumpCloud\u2019s open directory approach,\u201d said Hugh Neale, CEO, Zercurity, who joined JumpCloud as principal engineer as part of the acquisition. \u201cJumpCloud sits at the center of identity transformation, and we\u2019re excited to be part of delivering the industry go-to for centralizing all critical functions of user identity and device management.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
