Managing Hybrid and Decentralised Teams with JumpCloud

Gulf Infotech ran this webinar with Daniel Dassum and Elie Al Nahas of JumpCloud for IT teams that support staff across offices, homes and countries. The theme was simple: when people work from anywhere on different devices, identity, devices and access are easier to secure when they are managed in one place.

The session covered JumpCloud's cross-OS device management, which handles Windows, macOS and Linux machines from one console, and the idea of one identity for everything, with single sign-on and multi-factor authentication in front of the apps staff use. It then looked at zero-trust security, where every sign-in is checked against user and device, and at onboarding, so a new hire gets the right accounts and a configured laptop on day one.

The takeaway for a Gulf business with mixed Windows and Mac fleets: a single directory cuts the manual work of creating and removing accounts in many systems, and it closes the gap where former staff keep access. The webinar ended with a quiz and a prize.
