What’s New at StrongDM | May 2023

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

It is graduation month and as you prepare to graduate from outdated security practices, we're excited to introduce new features that will give your security policies a well-deserved upgrade.

Say goodbye to old manual ways and welcome a brighter future of enhanced security. In this blog post, we'll delve into our newest product enhancements that are designed to empower organizations on their cybersecurity journey. 

  • Log Streaming to S3: Dive into a world of enhanced visibility, compliance, and security as we enable you to effortlessly stream your StrongDM audit logs to a third-party object storage service. We are starting with Amazon S3, and will be introducing additional options in the future. It only takes a few steps. Simply enable log streaming in the Admin UI, add the policy to your S3 policy, and you’re done. Now all logs will be written to the configured S3 location. Once the data is in S3, export to any tool you wish. Documentation Here.

For instance, effortlessly send logs from your S3 bucket to Splunk and craft personalized dashboards to suit your needs. Uncover source-specific role changes, track server changes over time, or trace authentication events by country. The possibilities are endless.

There are several options for how our customers choose to store and export their logs. Below are some common logging scenarios that may be right for you. 

Improvements

  • Certificate Expiration Time. The certificates used by the SSH Certificate-based resource type now have a validity of 24 hours, this is increased from 3 minutes.
  • Advanced Insights Update: The Reports Library CSV now allows you to export all rows in a report, or only filtered report rows. Get the information you need quickly and easily. 

Full May release notes are available here.

Simplify Kubernetes Management on AWS
Simplify Kubernetes Management on AWS
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 Best Practices (That Go Beyond MFA)
AWS Authentication Best Practices (That Go Beyond MFA)
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.
