JumpCloud has announced that it is releasing a Windows app. JumpCloud is a directory-as-a-service that enables identity management from employee devices. Previously JumpCloud only had an app for macOS. According to the company, this new app will help streamline credential management workflows and establishes employee workstations as trusted devices.
It offers the same capabilities as the other app, including System Insights, configuration policies, full disk encryption, multi-factor authentication, and user account management. In addition, the Windows app will allow employees to interact with their JumpCloud identity, access their User Portal securely to access applications via SSO, and update their corporate passwords.
“The one place an employee should trust to manage their credentials is within their device, not over the open internet and not exclusively by an email reminder,” said Greg Keller, CTO at JumpCloud. “JumpCloud’s security policies, MFA, and our Windows and macOS apps provide the assurance that IT and security teams need for the most secure means to protect their employees.”
