Sign into your work resources simply and securely with the JumpCloud Protect® mobile application, proud winner of the Globee Cybersecurity Award. JumpCloud Protect enables multi-factor authentication (MFA) which ensures user verification. MFA provides an extra layer of security beyond traditional username and password authentication through either a push notification or a verification code through TOTP (time-based one-time password). Both methods are easier to use and provide more security than user-created passcodes or authentication codes sent via SMS. In addition, TOTP does not require your mobile device to be connected to Wi-Fi or a cellular network.
