Jumpoint™

By adding improved authentication, architecture, auditing capabilities and access controls, Jumpoints make other connection types more secure. With Jumpoints, for example, you can route Microsoft Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) through BeyondTrust.

Integrated Microsoft Remote Desktop Protocol enhances security and enables RDP to work across remote networks without VPN tunnels or open listening ports (such as TCP 3389).

A Jumpoint is required to use Intel vPro support. With Intel vPro, a technician can access a remote desktop or server below the operating system. Power a remote system on or off, reboot to BIOS, reimage, and more.

Jumpoint is also used to enable BeyondTrust’s Jump Zone Proxy capability, which gives off-network support technicians remote access to to systems on isolated networks.

Just configure the Jumpoint to proxy connections for designated systems on the network. Then off-network technicians can support those computers, even if the computers have no internet connection. Administrators determine which ports the Jump Zone Proxy uses and which IP ranges can access it. BeyondTrust can create reports and videos of all support sessions performed.

Tools like Terminal and PuTTy allow for remote shell access to switches, routers and other network devices. But using these tools create security concerns and headaches. How do you audit SSH/Telnet sessions or control user access to enabled systems?

• Shell Jump through a Jumpoint is a secure alternative for SSH, Telnet and Command Shell.
• BeyondTrust’s identity management (LDAP, RADIUS and Kerberos) and credential injection secures user access.
• And all BeyondTrust sessions are auditable - even those run through Command Shell.

With Jump Clients, vendors can access remote desktops, laptops, POS systems, kiosks and servers, regardless of network location.

Jump Technology is made up of Jump Clients and Jumpoints. Giving vendors access to Jumpoints lets them support Windows systems on remote networks without a pre-installed client. You can also enable vendors to use capabilities that require Jumpoints, such as:

• Integrated Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP)
• Integrated Intel® vPro™ Support
• Shell Jump (SSH/Telnet)
