StrongDM provides secure privileged access to a company's infrastructure, covering both on-premises and cloud-based systems. Its platform simplifies access while minimizing risk by implementing strategies like Zero Standing Privileges and Just-in-Time access, which ensure that access is granted only when necessary and is dynamically adjusted based on user roles and attributes. This approach enhances security and streamlines the process for employees, allowing them to access the resources they need instantly. StrongDM's platform is compatible with a variety of systems, from legacy databases to modern cloud tools, and offers native integrations that require no additional training. Unlike traditional solutions such as VPNs and jump boxes, StrongDM allows secure access from anywhere based on user identity, helping companies achieve their Zero Trust goals while maintaining an auditable access history for all team members.
