Cybercrime is as lucrative as ever, generating millions in illicit revenues for threat actors. Between 2021 and 2023, global data breaches rose by 72%, breaking all previous records. Meanwhile, data breach costs continue to rise. The average cost of an enterprise data breach in 2024 is $4.88 million — another all-time high.

An open directory platform for secure, frictionless access from any device to any resource, anywhere.
JumpCloud is reimagining the on-prem directory as a cloud-based platform that secures identities, manages devices, and provides safe access to all types of IT resources — on-prem, in the cloud, across Windows, Mac, or Linux.
JumpCloud Directory Platform:
- Open Directory Platform: JumpCloud’s open directory platform makes it possible to unify your technology stack across identity, access, and device management, in a cost-effective manner that doesn’t sacrifice security or functionality.
- Centralize Identities: Enjoy full-scale, centralized identity management with unified user identities, organization-wide, no matter where they originate. Easily integrate other identity sources to automatically keep identities up-to-date and aligned across all connected resources. Eliminate attack vectors related to identity sprawl and reduce costs associated with using identity management point solutions.
- 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.
