As AI agents take on actions once performed only by humans, traditional identity systems can’t provide clear delegation or accountability. StrongDM ID gives every agent a unique, verifiable identity linked to a human sponsor, ensuring organizations always know who authorized every action. In the next era of identity, authentication matters—but delegation defines trust.

The modern cloud is fast, dynamic, and complex. But legacy security tools can’t keep up. As containers and ephemeral resources constantly change, and access requests surge, security teams are left scrambling. Entitlements pile up, visibility fades, and audits become a nightmare.

This guide lays out a clear framework for evaluating database security tools, focusing on the risks they mitigate, the controls they deliver, and the outcomes they enable. From access and auditing to encryption, posture management, and recovery, we’ll highlight the best solutions and how they fit together
Discover how role-based access control (RBAC) tools from identity providers to cloud IAM and workflow systems work together to enforce least privilege, streamline approvals, and deliver secure, auditable access across modern infrastructure.
Non-human identities are fueling secrets sprawl, and vaults alone can’t stop it. Learn why NHIs are the primary source of leaked secrets, the limits of traditional secret stores, and how StrongDM governs access in real time without exposing credentials.
Access certification is more than a checkbox; it’s how you prove and enforce least privilege at scale. It ensures every user, system, and role has only the access they need, nothing more. In this guide, you’ll learn how to run access certifications that satisfy auditors, reduce insider threats, and clean up outdated privileges. You’ll explore common types (manual vs. automated, user-based vs. resource-based), challenges, and how modern teams streamline the process with real-time visibility and
Authorization isn’t just about who gets in, it’s about what they can do once they’re inside. And that’s where most breaches happen. Whether you're enforcing RBAC, ABAC, or context-based policies, effective authorization ensures users only access what they need, no more, no less. This post unpacks how authorization works, compares key models, and explores best practices for enforcing least privilege at scale.
