The next few months will be jam-packed with in-person events, insightful webinars, and new product updates. We can hardly wait to share it with you.
- NEW! Snowsight: You can now log into Snowflake’s Admin UI through StrongDM. Simply configure Snowsight as a cloud resource and you are authenticated and connected. Read the configuration details here.

- NEW! Web Domain: Added a read-only Web Domain field and copy button to the Admin UI General settings page to make it easier for users to know their organization’s domain name when accessing web resources or querying the release endpoint.
Improvements
- Activities: Activity logs now capture the actor's user agent at the time of activity completion. This update provides more context on the identity of the user to ensure the validity of access grants.
For all the July updates and fixes check out the July release notes.
As we bid farewell to July, we are gearing up for what promises to be an exciting August. Mark those calendars now, you won’t want to miss what’s coming next! ☀️

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.
