During Atlassian Team 24, Atlassian introduced Atlassian Guard, the rebranding of Atlassian Access, which now includes a premium option.
What is Atlassian Guard?
Atlassian Guard Standard, previously recognized as Atlassian Access, is designed to deliver smooth authentication and authorization processes, along with improved visibility and auditing capabilities. On the other hand, Atlassian Guard Premium, formerly referred to as the new security offering beta, Beacon beta, offers advanced security controls to protect vital data, heightened visibility through actionable threat detections, intelligent investigation features, intuitive remediation options, and is currently available in limited capacity. These offerings aim to enhance security measures for businesses using Atlassian products, ensuring comprehensive protection against potential threats and unauthorized access.

How will this benefit me if I can’t migrate to Atlassian Cloud because I am blocked?
Blocked from Migrating
Atlassian Guard Premium will now unblock on-premise customers facing migration blockers by providing three key information security capabilities.
the ability to identify, classify, and remediate leakage of the most important data (e.g., PII, IP)
access to audit logs recording all user activity
control usage of API tokens and service/bot accounts
Enhanced Security for Existing Cloud Customers
The risk of losing data is increasing, with an average of 1,248 attacks per week targeting all industries and companies worldwide. These incidents may not only be due to hackers targeting valuable data but also as a result of control failures or mistakes made by employees.
Our clients rely on Atlassian cloud products for their most important work. If this data is breached, they risk losing their significant work, facing potential fines, and damaging their brand reputation.
It is crucial for our cloud clients to maintain centralized control and have visibility into data access, user actions, and potentially risky operations.
