Why JumpCloud

JumpCloud is cloud directory service that unifies identity, access, and device management across Mac, Windows, Linux, and cloud apps. It replaces AD with RADIUS, LDAP, SAML — perfect for hybrid/multi-OS MSP environments.

  • Universal Directory: Single user DB for all OS and 700+ apps.
  • Zero-Touch Enrollment: Auto-join devices to directory via MDM.
  • Conditional Access: MFA, device posture, geo-fencing.
  • Patch & Config: Policy enforcement across platforms.

How Blackhawk MSP Deploys It

  • Enable via Pax8; import users from M365/AD or CSV.
  • Configure RADIUS for Wi-Fi/VPN, SAML for cloud apps.
  • Enroll devices: auto-bind Macs, GPO for Windows, SSH keys for Linux.
  • Set policies: MFA for all logins, patch schedules by OS.
  • Monitor via dashboard; sync changes to PSA for ticketing.
