StrongDM is a proxy that manages and audits access to databases, servers, clusters, and web apps. The StrongDM network consists of a local client, gateway intermediary, and configuration layer.
StrongDM has a comprehensive role-based access control system that allows fine-grained control of privilege to resources based on your security policies. Security teams can grant privileged access on-demand without requiring shared credentials. The approach that governs all of this adheres to the principle of least privilege and works with all resources in your stack.
Complexity in existing workflows leads to over-provisioned access that puts companies at risk for data privacy violations–or under-provisioned access that encourages workarounds and shared credentials. StrongDM enables you to protect your resources with a unified solution that simplifies the end-to-end process of permission management across your entire tech stack. Eliminate the need to implement VPNs and bastion hosts to reach Zero Trust access.
StrongDM uses automation to provide on-demand access to resources, so admins can re-direct their attention to strategic initiatives without compromising security.
Manual processes for granting and revoking access are prone to human error, leading to increased risk and exposed security gaps. Just-in-time access reduces your attack surface by establishing privileged sessions automatically using protocols such as SSH, RDP, or HTTPS–without revealing credentials to the user.
Reduce the risk of breaches with unified access management policies that grant just-in-time, dynamic, and temporary access to all critical systems and data. StrongDM enables you to accelerate response to suspicious activities from hours to milliseconds with real-time revocation of access. You’re able to track third-party access privileges and record and audit privileged activity for third-party users with comprehensive logs that easily answer who did what, when.
The StrongDM Policy Engine provides a simple, adaptable, and cohesive approach to policy enforcement and management, and organizations can ensure that their policies are consistently applied across all systems. Achieve granular control with centralized, flexible policy controls that are consistent across your entire infrastructure.
StrongDM delivers total visibility into every action on every system, so you have crisp answers to access control questions across your entire backend infrastructure.
Consolidate your access audit logs with StrongDM, log locally, or ship to a SIEM, SOAR, or log aggregation tool to develop a clear picture of access risk.
StrongDM supports your entire stack so that there are no exceptions. Every activity, query and command is captured across your entire infrastructure–so when auditors ask for evidence, you have the answers. StrongDM helps you implement and maintain security access controls for SOC 2, NIST, ISO 27001 and more.
