April 30, 2024
Macktez accepted JumpCloud's invitation to join the inaugural meeting of its MSP Advisory Board. It was a chance to meet a select group of key JumpCloud Partners, discuss the technical, security, and economic challenges facing the managed service industry, and offer feedback on JumpCloud's platform and its place in the market.
What the meeting covered
The meeting was also a chance to address JumpCloud's recent acquisition of Resmo, a tool for asset discovery and management that broadens JumpCloud's ability to identify and secure "Shadow IT" — apps and services that are not part of an organization's managed stack.
As Michael Horst, Macktez COO, put it: "Macktez has a rewarding relationship with JumpCloud. We're looking forward to a more formal opportunity to offer constructive analysis about the practical challenges and changing needs of our clients."
Why JumpCloud matters to our clients
JumpCloud is the foundation of Macktez's Identity Management service for most clients. Like other identity and access management (IAM) platforms, JumpCloud lets organizations centralize user verification and security across a wide range of online services and applications. Its device management features unify the login experience and can use device biometrics for more convenient authentication.
Macktez Identity Management
Our Identity Management subscription manages verification for online services and local computer accounts so users have a single identity for authentication. Multi-factor authentication is always enforced, and we can add conditions for clients with greater security needs or lower tolerance for risk. Because everything runs through one platform, tightening security for one service tightens it everywhere, keeping a consistent security profile across the whole organization.
