JumpCloud announces JumpCloud Protect — free mobile multi-factor authentication 

JumpCloud has announced JumpCloud Protect, a one-touch multi-factor authentication (MFA) solution designed to make it easy for IT admins to deploy and enforce MFA without adversely impacting end users. 

Available for iOS and Android devices, the company says it enables simple and efficient “touch to verify” functionality for employees when accessing corporate IT resources authenticated by the JumpCloud Directory Platform. 

JumpCloud Protect is a fully featured mobile MFA app, that allows employees authenticating into protected apps and resources to verify themselves directly from their corporate-issued or BYOD mobile device. JumpCloud Protect:

In addition to its extensive feature set, the folks at JumpCloud say that JumpCloud Protect provides a number of benefits for customers of JumpCloud at any package level, and the employees and IT and security teams that manage access and security controls at these companies: 

“Most organizations struggle to find the balance of appropriate security levels and convenience for employees. Security and IT teams are looking for solutions that eliminate friction, without incurring additional costs in integration time, effort, and vendor management,” said Greg Keller, CTO at JumpCloud. “JumpCloud Protect gives IT and security teams a path to protection without irritating users or overcomplicating their infrastructure. Mobile push MFA is an easy-to-understand and easy-to-use solution for employees, and simplifies IT and SecOps who can rely upon the same vendor they use for their identity and device management solutions with tightly integrated MFA solutions.”

JumpCloud Protect is currently in an early access evaluation period with select customers and will launch in late quarter two.
