Security News > 2022 > February > JumpCloud joins the patch management crowd, starting with Windows and Mac updates

Cloud directory specialist JumpCloud is moving into the crowded patch management market with an extension to its platform to automate patch updates.

Companies such as Apple or Microsoft already have varying levels of patch management tools in their armoury.

JumpCloud's take, like its directory platform, straddles devices with a centralised view across a company's estate.

Browser and application patching will come later, and principal project manager Tom Bridge told The Register that an iOS version would be along by summer.

Availability is due to hit in the coming weeks for all la carte JumpCloud users, with the settings slotting into the Policy Management section of the JumpCloud console.

JumpCloud's take, as with its directory, is a centralised pane from which to manage things, thus making life a little easier.
