JumpCloud’s online conference in February for customers, developers, and managed service providers was a special event for the Macktez team watching at the office — we were proud to receive JumpCloud’s MSP Partner of the Year Award for the Americas.
“Our partners are fundamental to the JumpCloud mission. They are on the front lines every day, delivering value and security to customers around the globe,” said Antoine Jebara, co-founder and general manager of channel & alliances at JumpCloud. “As our Partner of the Year, Macktez represents the gold standard of what it means to deliver a unified, secure IT environment. Their work in 2025 has been fundamental to our shared mission of making sophisticated security simple and accessible.”
“We don’t chase awards and certifications,” said Noah Landow, Macktez’s Founder and CEO, “but receiving Partner of the Year honors from JumpCloud is extremely meaningful to our team. This award recognizes the countless hours we have spent mastering JumpCloud’s unified identity, access, and device management platform, and leveraging those features for our clients’ organizational security.”

- The pivot at Macktez over 30 years from white glove support to providing managed services, driven by second generation MSP tools like JumpCloud.
- Improved efficiency for support and users when identity, access, and device management are consolidated successfully in one tool.
- Challenges with BYOD solved by more sophisticated device trust and containerization features.
- Importance of identity and device security for any sized organization.
