JumpCloud Inc. is
continuing its identity-first momentum by acquiring Stack Identity. Stack
Identity is a next-generation identity security and access visibility platform.
This acquisition strengthens JumpCloud’s identity-first access management
solution.
Stack
Identity offers cutting-edge data analytics technology. It helps reduce key
risks in securing workforce access, especially in remote or hybrid work.
Customers will be able to detect unmonitored and unauthorized access pathways
that most IAM tools miss. The technology deepens JumpCloud’s existing and
planned capabilities in:
- Identity
Governance and Administration (IGA) - Privilege Access
Management (PAM) - Identity Security
Posture Management (ISPM) - Identity Threat
Detection and Response (ITDR) - Cloud
Infrastructure Entitlement Management (CIEM)
“Mastering
data is key to providing secure, frictionless access to corporate resources,”
said Greg Keller, co-founder and chief technology officer, JumpCloud.
“Stack Identity’s world-class team and advanced data analytics technology
will accelerate our ability to productize the billions of data signals our
platform generates each month. This will enable new forms of access control,
improved identity visibility, and assurance that the right people have the
correct access and entitlements every time.”
Key
benefits:
JumpCloud
customers have shown a strong demand for advanced identity-first capabilities.
JumpCloud will leverage Stack Identity’s expertise in:
- Enhanced
visibility and control over access across IT, cloud infrastructure, and
SaaS applications. - Streamlined
deployment of least privilege access across the organization. - Assurance that
only the right individuals access the necessary resources. - Accelerated
delivery of just-in-time (JIT) access to cloud, SaaS, and on-premises
resources. - Tools that enable
IT admins to provide just-enough access (JEA) to prevent over-entitlement. - Advanced detection
capabilities to identify and mitigate access anomalies.
“Joining
JumpCloud is an exciting step as we reshape the future of identity security,”
said Sanjay Kale, co-founder, Stack Identity. “Together, we are creating a
unified way to protect organizations in today’s complex security landscape. By
combining our strengths, we aim to help businesses streamline security and stay
ahead of threats.”
The
acquisition underscores JumpCloud’s commitment to the evolving needs of modern
IT. It comes less than one year after JumpCloud’s acquisition of Resmo.
JumpCloud is in a unique position that enables the simplification of the IT
experience for businesses of all sizes.
