In a recent survey, JumpCloud asked this question to over 300 IT professionals working at SMEs in the U.S. Read on to learn the results.

Think about all the vendors your company pays for. How many do you think there are? Out of those, how many do you think it actually uses? Spendesk examined this question in over 5,000 small- to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the U.K., France, Germany, and Spain. The results were surprising. The study found that the average SME has 800 suppliers. That’s nine times the average SME headcount. What’s more, SMEs are only using about a quarter of them.

When we look back–in six months, 12 months, or even several years–at the global IT outage that severely disrupted major industries around the world, I don’t think that it will be hyperbole to say that July’s global outage is a watershed moment for IT. Just as the SolarWinds breach was security’s watershed moment, this will end up being IT’s.

Consider that AD has become a top target for cyber attackers and doesn’t meet modern IT requirements.

Mobile devices have become so integral to both business and personal lives that it is difficult to imagine a life without them. There’s more attack surface area as a result, and it’s IT’s job to mitigate the risk of cyberattacks. Insider threats are often involved, because employees and their devices can be one of the weakest links in the security chain.

There is a lot to keep track of these days. Organizations face an array of challenges that can hit anywhere on the spectrum from the mundane to the existential. Heightened security concerns affect how tightly you control user access. The proliferation of devices adds complexity and bloat to your management stack. And almost every organization, regardless of size, is expanding its distributed workforce across global time zones and native languages. Getting this right falls to you as well.

An open directory platform for secure, frictionless access from any device to any resource, anywhere.
JumpCloud is reimagining the on-prem directory as a cloud-based platform that secures identities, manages devices, and provides safe access to all types of IT resources — on-prem, in the cloud, across Windows, Mac, or Linux.
JumpCloud Directory Platform:
- Open Directory Platform: JumpCloud’s open directory platform makes it possible to unify your technology stack across identity, access, and device management, in a cost-effective manner that doesn’t sacrifice security or functionality.
- Centralize Identities: Enjoy full-scale, centralized identity management with unified user identities, organization-wide, no matter where they originate. Easily integrate other identity sources to automatically keep identities up-to-date and aligned across all connected resources. Eliminate attack vectors related to identity sprawl and reduce costs associated with using identity management point solutions.
- Secure Devices: Manage your entire fleet, regardless of OS or location, and create a scalable device management foundation that evolves with you. From one pane of glass, manage all server infrastructure and devices, whether they’re mobile or non-mobile, corporate-owned, or part of a BYOD initiative. Use JumpCloud to achieve compliance, centrally monitor events, manage and export device data, enforce policies, patch machines, and more.
- Frictionless Access: Simplify onboarding, offboarding, and ongoing access changes and provide users with access to the resources they need immediately, effectively, and securely. Reduce friction between departments through open integration capabilities that sync your tools, unify access privilege management, and improve employee productivity. Secure access with conditional access policies that protect your resources from evolving threats.
