Key features
Centralize privileged access across multiple protocols

Supplemental curator note
JumpServer is more than a single SSH bastion. It combines web UI, terminal/proxy, database connectors, AI components, and supporting services. Community and Enterprise editions expose different components, so deployment scope should be reviewed first.
