Waffo<\/a> is a fintech company offering a global payments platform that enables customers in more than 40 countries to pay for items across borders with their preferred payment method. Founded in March 2023, Waffo is powered by a remote team spread across Singapore, Hong Kong, China, and Sydney, Australia. Members of the business development team are always on the move, too, expanding businesses across Southeast Asia and South America.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Building IT infrastructure on a solid foundation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As Waffo was starting out, Jianshi Huang and his fellow co-founders wanted to operate as a Mac shop. But they quickly realized they needed a more diverse IT ecosystem, as developers wanted Linux machines and finance wanted Windows machines equipped with Microsoft Excel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAll of a sudden, we had three kinds of operating systems to support,\u201d Huang says. \u201cGradually, it became more and more complicated to manage.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consolidating device and identity management with JumpCloud<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To solve this problem, Huang began exploring device management solutions. At the same time, he was looking into identity providers that could provide authentication, single sign-on (SSO), and support for virtual private networks (VPNs), a slew of SaaS applications, and the rest of its IT infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI was exploring different options, and none of them worked really well,\u201d Huang explains. \u201cOkta was popular for identity, but it didn\u2019t cover anything regarding device management \u2014 not to mention some of the security features we were looking for, like conditional access<\/a> and zero-trust<\/a> configurations.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For device management, Huang tested Kandji, a mobile device management solution built for the Apple ecosystem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt was very easy to use but had very limited functionality,\u201d he says, adding that the platform lacked robust security features, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Waffo uses Google Workspace as its business productivity suite. Around this time, Huang stumbled across an announcement<\/a> for a new partnership between Google and JumpCloud<\/a>, the leading provider of secure, frictionless device and identity management solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI started testing JumpCloud, and surprisingly it worked very well,\u201d Huang says. \u201cI was looking for a tool that was easy to use and had been frustrated seeing how complicated most tools were. You\u2019d have to add one on top of another and could never find someone that could solve all the problems.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once he started playing around with JumpCloud, Huang realized he had finally found the exact tool he was looking for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Getting up and running with JumpCloud in 1 short month<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Liking what he saw, Huang decided to start using JumpCloud for device management<\/a> and as an identity provider<\/a>. He and his team began integrating JumpCloud with AWS, their internal applications, VPNs using JumpCloud\u2019s cloud RADIUS Server<\/a>, and open source tools, which only support LDAP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSurprisingly, it worked out of the box with JumpCloud, which I was very happy about,\u201d he says. \u201cI didn\u2019t need to set up any local server like RADIUS or LDAP. It worked very well and was very easy to use.\u201d  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the best part? How quickly the team got up and running with JumpCloud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe set up everything in JumpCloud in less than one month, including the conditional access,\u201d Huang says, attributing the ease of implementation to JumpCloud\u2019s robust documentation<\/a> along with JumpCloud University<\/a>, a hub full of resources designed to help customers maximize their investment in the platform. \u201cI went through the initial courses, which were very well-written and very well-explained.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to solving the company\u2019s immediate needs for cross-OS device management and identity management, JumpCloud also made it easier to manage a remote team thanks to Remote Assist<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s perfect for when people are working remotely and you need to help them,\u201d Huang says. \u201cJumpCloud\u2019s remote control software is included in the same stack with authentication and device management, which is very important. It provides convenience plus security.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PCI compliance made easy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As every fintech company knows too well, PCI compliance<\/a> is essential to operations. Any business that processes credit card transactions must comply with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS), currently in its fourth interaction as PCI DSS v4.0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With JumpCloud in place, Waffo was able to achieve PCI compliance in less than four short months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cJumpCloud played a really important role with identity and device management across our whole IT infrastructure,\u201d Huang explains. \u201cFor some IT management sections, we were just checking a box because it was already implemented by JumpCloud. I think the only thing we did was increase the minimum password length from 8 characters to 12 characters.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

White-glove service<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Huang has been particularly impressed by JumpCloud\u2019s white-glove service. As an example, JumpCloud CEO Raj Bhargava once sent out an email asking for feedback. Huang responded, and the Raj got back to him the same day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe arranged the product team and zero-trust experts to talk to me directly over Zoom,\u201d Huang says. \u201cThey told me how the platform was designed and how it\u2019s supposed to be configured. It was very helpful.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Similarly, whenever Huang\u2019s encountered an issue with JumpCloud, the support team has been standing by ready to help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe whole point of using JumpCloud is that it\u2019s very straightforward,\u201d Huang says. \u201cBut if you ever have a problem, the support team can handle it.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking of support: Any advice for folks considering JumpCloud?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
