Thank you all for coming. Uh we're going to talk a little bit about uh JumpCloud, the identity provider you may not have uh heard of before. Uh it's sort of billed as a uh breaking up with Active Directory identity provider. There's a lot of different moving parts, so here's the agenda breakdown for the day.

Um we're going to talk about how this is similar and different to some other identity providers you might already be familiar with or more familiar with. And then we're going to talk sort of the core things that you as an attacker interested in, uh credentials, command execution, and other general-purpose evil things you can do uh to a JumpCloud tenant. And then sort of where do we go from here? What are some of the…
