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

- Logging like you've never seen
Somehow it is already halfway through 2023. Where did the time go?
Many of us are enjoying the summer months with vacations, warm weather, and a well-deserved refresh. At StrongDM we continue to think of ways to build capabilities that delight and help our customers reach their access management aspirations.
- TOTP Support: Customers can now use their own Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) client, in addition to the already supported Duo client, when logging into the StrongDM platform. TOTP Documentation can be found here. Are there other MFA options that you need supported? Let the product team know here.
- Real-time Release Notes: Get the latest scoop on new features and be in the loop with bug fixes! Be the first to know what's coming and decide if the newest upgrade is right for you. You can consume the StrongDM release notes via ATOM feed readers for the StrongDM CLI and the StrongDM Desktop Client.
Improvements
- We updated the Terrafrom provider with support for the Microsoft SQL Server (Kerberos) and Microsoft SQL Server (Azure AD) resource types.
For all the June updates and fixes check out the June release notes.
StrongDM is always hard at work to ensure that our poduct meets the evolving needs of both developer and security teams. From powerful new features to robust security enhancements, I can't wait to share what's in store in the coming months.

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.
