Resources & Tools

Access control shouldn't stop at the login screen (Sponsor)

Cloud-native infrastructure moves fast—automated, ephemeral, multi-cloud by design. Yet most access tools and security platforms are stuck in a world of tickets, vaults, and jump boxes. Connectivity might be solved, but control isn't. Legacy permission management tools stop at authentication: once users are in, you're flying blind until something goes wrong. StrongDM gives you real-time control over privileged actions, with developer-friendly workflows that don't kill velocity. See what happens next with StrongDM
