[Atlassian Cloud], [Atlassian Access], [Guard]
Another of Atlassian's long-awaited releases, Atlassian Guard, is now available to all users in the Premium version. Unlock advanced Atlassian cloud security, guarding priority projects with data classification, quickly surface suspicious behavior with alerts, and take action with suggested remediations.
Digging Into the Details: What Is Atlassian Guard?
Atlassian Guard is a comprehensive solution designed for Atlassian cloud products to ensure the protection of data and projects within a cloud setting. It integrates the functionalities of former Atlassian Access and Atlassian Beacon beta with additional features to identify risks, avert data loss, and counteract threats. The product was released in May 2024 and offered in Standard and Premium versions.
However, despite Guard Premium's declared power, it was only available to a limited number of users. And finally, we have waited for one of the most exciting events and announcements of autumn 2024 — Atlassian Guard Premium has become available to everyone!

A Quick Overview of What Makes Guard Premium Stand Out
Guard Standard provides the established features of Atlassian Access, which include identity and access management, improved visibility through complete transparency and auditing, and the incorporation of Single Sign-On (SSO) for external users. Guard Premium, in turn, builds upon the standard features by offering advanced data classification, enhanced threat detection, and comprehensive audit logs. Premium users gain from sophisticated advanced controls to proactively prevent data misuse, faster threat response times through integration with communication tools like Slack or Microsoft Teams, and more detailed insights into security alerts, allowing for even quicker responses.
