What Does StrongDM Do?

The way organizations manage access to infrastructure has fundamentally changed with the rise of cloud computing. Today’s enterprises rely on a wide range of cloud providers, servers, databases, and Kubernetes clusters—making access management increasingly complex. Trying to stitch together disparate tools and systems not only wastes valuable engineering time, it can also compromise security and degrade the end-user experience.

To address this, businesses need a centralized infrastructure access platform that provides both access management and auditing capabilities across all environments.

Meet StrongDM: Secure, Unified Infrastructure Access

StrongDM is a modern infrastructure access management solution that centralizes and streamlines access to databases, servers, Kubernetes clusters, and web applications. With StrongDM, you can:

  • Manage and audit infrastructure access across all your environments
  • Eliminate the need for multiple point solutions
  • Support all major protocols—from SSH to RDP, PostgreSQL to MongoDB
  • Provide a seamless experience for engineers and admins alike

The StrongDM architecture includes a lightweight local client, a secure gateway intermediary, and a robust configuration layer—ensuring end-to-end visibility, fine-grained access control, and compliance-ready audit logs.

What is StrongDM Used For?

Secure Access Management for Every Stage of the Employee Lifecycle

From onboarding to offboarding and everything in between, organizations struggle to manage access to critical infrastructure without compromising security or compliance. StrongDM solves this with a unified, auditable, and secure access platform that supports every use case.


Fast, Secure Offboarding

Instantly revoke infrastructure access for departing employees and contractors. Close security gaps and eliminate manual cleanup by deprovisioning access in seconds across servers, databases, clusters, and cloud environments.


Automated Permission Management

Automate access provisioning to ensure users inherit least-privilege access by default. As new infrastructure is deployed, StrongDM dynamically updates permissions to keep pace with growth and reduce human error.


Secure Vendor Access with Audit Trails

Grant just-in-time (JIT) access to third-party vendors or partners with full session logging. Meet customer security requirements by capturing every query and command run—no VPNs or shared credentials required.


Infrastructure-Wide Auditing

Gain complete visibility with real-time audit logs for all activity across your stack—servers, databases, Kubernetes clusters, web apps, and cloud services. Meet compliance standards with ease.


Just-in-Time Access for Temporary Roles

Need to temporarily elevate access for interns, contractors, or sensitive tasks? Approve time-bound access requests that automatically expire—without disrupting your security model.


A Developer-Friendly VPN Alternative

Replace clunky VPNs with secure remote access built for modern developer workflows. StrongDM integrates with your SSO and IAM tools for seamless authentication and session tracking.


Eliminate Credential Sprawl

Stop sharing credentials across teams. StrongDM enforces least-privilege access without passwords or static credentials—improving both security posture and usability for dev and ops teams.


Accelerate SOC 2 Compliance

Get to SOC 2 compliance faster with a free suite of templates, automated audit logs, and best practices. StrongDM helps you prove control over access, monitoring, and operational security.
