Securing Network Devices with StrongDM's Zero Trust PAM Platform
Let’s talk about the unsung heroes of your on-premises infrastructure: network devices. These are the routers, switches, and firewalls that everyone forgets about…and takes for granted—until something breaks. And when one of those somethings breaks, it leads to some pretty bad stuff. If your network goes down, that’s bad, bad, bad for business. But if those devices lack the necessary security, well, that can leave you exposed in an incredibly dangerous way.
What Is Zero Trust for the Cloud? (And Why It's Important)
What Is Zero Trust for the Cloud? (And Why It's Important)
Zero Trust cloud security is a cybersecurity model that operates on the principle that no user, device, system, or action should be trusted by default — even if it's inside your organization’s own network. This approach minimizes the risk of breaches and other cyber threats by limiting access to sensitive information and resources based on user roles, device security posture, and contextual factors.
How to Prevent Password Sharing in Healthcare
How to Prevent Password Sharing in Healthcare (8 Ways)
Protecting sensitive patient data in healthcare isn't just a priority—it's a legal and ethical obligation. However, one of the most overlooked security gaps that healthcare organizations face is the practice of password sharing among employees. This seemingly harmless habit can quickly lead to unauthorized access and serious data breaches, putting both the organization and patients at risk. While often seen as a convenient shortcut, password sharing undermines the security of protected health information (PHI), potentially leading to HIPAA violations and data breaches. In this post, we'll explore eight effective ways to prevent password sharing in healthcare.

What Is Privileged Identity Management (PIM)? 7 Best Practices
Privileged Identity Management (PIM) is a complex cybersecurity approach. But it’s the only proven method you can use to lock down access and protect your precious resources. It can help you keep cybercriminals out and ensure that even your trusted users can’t accidentally—or intentionally—jeopardize your system’s security.

What Is Zero Trust Data Protection?
Zero Trust Data Protection isn't just the best way to safeguard your data — given today's advanced threat landscape, it's the only way. Assuming inherent trust just because an access request is inside your network is just asking for a breach. By implementing the latest tactics in authentication, network segmentation, encryption, access controls, and continuous monitoring, ZT data security takes the opposite approach.
