Spring has sprung and the audits will come. How efficient are you at audit preparation? At StrongDM we reduce the administrative load and help customers get answers to the questions they need to reach regulatory compliance for internal and external audits.
StrongDM manages and audits access to infrastructure.
- Role-based, attribute-based, & just-in-time access to infrastructure
- Connect any person or service to any infrastructure, anywhere
- Logging like you've never seen
This month, we’re rolling out updates to make access smoother than a perfectly coded algorithm.
Say hello to streamlined access workflows that will have you waving goodbye to access hassles. We also improved your audit filters to take searching to a whole new level. Let’s dive in and learn more. 🤿
- NEW! Access Workflows: Make your dream of Zero Standing Privileges a reality. Our Access Workflows solution provides a comprehensive, auditable, and streamlined approach to managing user access rights and eliminate standing access. Want to learn more? Check-out our feature deep dive here.
- NEW! Replay Data Retention: Globally control the storage of SSH, RDP, and Kubernetes replay data. Customers now have the flexibility to disable storage of session replays, while still capturing non-replay queries and replay metadata. With StrongDM, always know who did what and for how long.
Improvements
- StrongDM’s audit logs capture every activity and query. High-volume logs often make it hard to surface the information you are looking for. To make searching through your audit logs even easier the sdm audit CLI command now supports filters provided via CLI flags. Check out all CLI filters here. Filter by user, resource type, or more.
For all the August updates and fixes check out the July release notes.
As we bid farewell to summer and insecure access, we welcome the arrival of a new host of features. Access Workflows is the foundation for many exciting things to come, and we can’t wait to share more.
Looking for a certain protocol? Don’t hesitate to reach out—we’re always here to listen and build a solution that’s right for you. Drop a line to product@strongdm.com.

Secure access controls must be applied universally and consistently across all your infrastructure—from the Linux boxes in your datacenter to your Kubernetes clusters in AWS. StrongDM Dynamic Access Management is uniquely positioned to provide seamless, secure access across your entire stack, simplifying access management and compliance for your legacy systems and modern cloud stack.
AWS authentication confirms the identity of users trying to access your resources, safeguarding against potential intrusions and data breaches. But weak authentication practices—like easy-to-guess passwords and single-factor authentication (SFA)—are far too common and they leave the door wide open for threat actors. Weak authentication often leads to data theft, resource misuse, financial and reputational nightmares…the list goes on. On the contrary, strong authentication measures like Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) significantly reduce the risk of these incidents occurring. StrongDM takes AWS authentication to the next level, going beyond MFA to include granular access controls based on roles (RBAC), attributes (ABAC), and just-in-time approvals.
