Feature details

icons8-lease-1

Defining multiple authentication policies

Admins have the flexibility to define multiple authentication policies and apply them to different subsets of users in the organization to ensure each set of users have the appropriate level of security.

icons8-protect

SAML single sign-on (SSO)

SAML single sign-on (SSO) allows your users to authenticate to Atlassian cloud products through your company's existing identity provider. This means they can access multiple tools with the same set of credentials, while using a more secure method of authentication than just a user name and password. 

icons8-identification-documents

SCIM automated user provisioning

Access integrates your user directory with your Atlassian cloud products, and automatically syncs updates you make in your identity provider with users in your Atlassian organization.

icons8-lock-1

Enforced two-step verification

Enforced two-step verification is a security policy that requires the users in an organization to turn on two-step verification in order to log in and access their Atlassian cloud products.

icons8-key

API token controls

API tokens allow a user to authenticate with cloud apps and bypass two-step verification and SSO, and retrieve data from the instance through REST APIs. Token controls allow admins to view and revoke the use of API tokens by their managed accounts.

icons8-project-management

Automatic product discovery

Admins gain visibility into and can manage shadow IT at their organization by discovering Atlassian cloud products their managed users created, seeing who the administrator of these products are, and how many users have joined those products.

icons8-analyze

Organization-wide audit logs

An organization audit log is a comprehensive log of admin activity that takes place in the Atlassian cloud organization. An organization audit log shows admins the who, what, and when of admin activity.

icons8-goal

Organization-wide insights

Organization insights allow admins to track the adoption of their Atlassian products and evaluate their users' security posture. The feature provides a set of analytics across all the Jira family and Confluence cloud products that are linked to an organization.

CASB integration with McAfee MVISION

Why does your organization need Atlassian Guard?

In today's technology-driven era, managing a growing or large organization comes with many challenges. It's difficult to manage users effectively when the organization is expanding. Controlling access to applications and the cost associated with unused licenses from former employees can turn administration into a nightmare.

Therefore, when users have easy access to the applications they need for work and the security team can audit each user's activities to enhance the organization's security policies across systems, administration becomes more straightforward and less burdensome. Add to this the capabilities of proactive data loss prevention measures and lightning-fast response methods, taking the protection of your information to a whole new level.

And this is just part of the capabilities of the new Atlassian Guard, which combines the existing Access and Beacon beta features with new data loss prevention capabilities into a single integrated product. This enhancement extends security policies and improves alerts using detailed data from the Atlassian cloud.

This is the beginning of a new era of fundamental security measures, allowing us to implement advanced security and user management within all Atlassian Cloud products. It is essential for organizations intending to establish SSO or manage user and group provisioning with Atlassian Cloud tools and software.
