“JumpCloud extends Unified identity, access, and device management to aid in implementing and validating compliance controls”.

Active Directory became the critical solution for securely controlling and linking staff members to Windowscentric resources twenty years ago. Although AD is still the most popularly used on-premises directory by enterprises across the globe, some limiting factors have emerged. The prominence of the cloud is quite significant here. In addition, there are modern operating systems, increased accessibility to corporate resources, and other factors that surface as limiting factors. JumpCloud realized this and reinvented the Directory to match the current world’s needs with an open, cloud-based directory that enables frictionless, safe access to any resource from any authorized device, anywhere. The strategy opens up new opportunities for IT to simplify and secure work.

Microsoft’s directory and identity management solution for Windows domain networks is called Active Directory (AD). It was first made available in Windows 2000, comes with the majority of MS Windows Server operating systems, and is utilized by several Microsoft products. “JumpCloudians seek to redefine how the Directory can make work happen for organizations worldwide. We stack our team with people who want to shape our company’s future, reject the confines of a traditional role, and work collectively to solve complex challenges. A shared passion for the success of our customers is the foundation that drives our thinking and efforts,” says Rajat Bhargava, CEO. JumpCloud’s open directory platform enables enterprises to unify the technology stack across identity, access, and device management, cost-effectively without compromising security or functionality.

JumpCloud also reduces the number of point solutions required to keep things operating effectively while managing the complete tech stack effortlessly.

“Further, with JumpCloud, it is easy to Improve your security posture, easily achieve compliance, and get complete support for IT operations with the JumpCloud Directory Platform,” adds Bhargava.
