JumpCloud has announced the acquisition of asset management startup Resmo in a move the company says will help it meet modern SaaS management, IT security and asset management needs.

In an announcement, JumpCloud co-founder and CTO Greg Keller highlighted the importance of IT teams having complete visibility into all IT resources within their organization.

“Resmo and its leaders have actively established an early technological advantage, spearheading innovative solutions to address these issues head-on.
“The company's founders have demonstrated a proven track record of success, both in meeting customer needs and driving the business forward with cloud-based security solutions designed to meet the demands of modern IT.”
