Granting privileged access to an end user’s device is a common practice in organizations. Admins do it to give end users the ability to manage administrative tasks such as downloading applications and accessing resources on their devices.

- Secure Devices: Manage your entire fleet, regardless of OS or location, and create a scalable device management foundation that evolves with you. From one pane of glass, manage all server infrastructure and devices, whether they’re mobile or non-mobile, corporate-owned, or part of a BYOD initiative. Use JumpCloud to achieve compliance, centrally monitor events, manage and export device data, enforce policies, patch machines, and more.
- Frictionless Access: Simplify onboarding, offboarding, and ongoing access changes and provide users with access to the resources they need immediately, effectively, and securely. Reduce friction between departments through open integration capabilities that sync your tools, unify access privilege management, and improve employee productivity. Secure access with conditional access policies that protect your resources from evolving threats.
