JumpCloud has updated its SaaS management platform to simplify the discovery and blocking of unauthorized software accessed through the cloud, enhancing cybersecurity for organizations. The update aims to provide greater visibility and control over SaaS applications, addressing the growing problem of "shadow IT" where employees use unsanctioned software. JumpCloud's enhanced platform allows IT teams to identify and manage SaaS usage, reduce security risks, and control costs associated with redundant or unauthorized applications. This proactive approach helps organizations prevent sensitive data from being shared in ways that violate cybersecurity and compliance policies.

Integration between JumpCloud's existing SaaS management platform and Resmo, acquired last year, has been tightened, bolstering single sign-on (SSO) capabilities. JumpCloud's SaaS management platform uses a browser extension to provide visibility into SaaS application usage and apply controls to block unauthorized access. By strengthening its platform, JumpCloud aims to improve its tools for managing SaaS applications by adding more automation for its users, while making it simpler for organizations to identify redundant usage of multiple SaaS applications. This ultimately reduces the attack surface and potential vulnerabilities within an organization's IT infrastructure.
