                                                 StrongDM debuts in Gartner’s Magic Quadrant for PAM, redefining privileged access with real-time, policy-based authorization for modern cloud environments.
                                            
                                    
                                    
                                
                                    
                            
                                     
                                                 AI agents act autonomously, not just as tools. Learn why enterprises need runtime governance to secure, observe, and control AI behavior in real time.
                                            
                                    
                                    
                                
                                    
                            
                                     
                                                 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.

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this guide, you’ll learn how to run access certifications that satisfy auditors, reduce insider threats, and clean up outdated privileges.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.
                                            
                                    
                                    
                                
                                    
                            
                                     
                                                 More than just an incremental improvement, the Identity Firewall is an architectural transformation that enables both security and velocity in modern environments. Organizations ready to lead this transformation will build competitive advantages that extend far beyond security compliance.
