Managing a static fleet of strongDM servers is dead simple. You create the server in the strongDM console, place the public key file on the box, and it’s done! This scales really well for small deployments, but as your fleet grows, the burden of manual tasks grows with it.

In our last post, we discussed some of the challenges that are inherent to management of SSH keys across your infrastructure as you scale the number of team members and servers. In this post, we will dig into some of your options and the trade-offs that they provide.

In this post, we’ll dissect the two concepts and explain how administrators can use a reverse proxy for easy access management control.

Consider this when you choose to integrate Active Directory (AD) with your databases and applications using their native APIs, connectors, or toolkits.

Find an easier way to manage access privileges and user credentials in MySQL databases. Reduce manual, repetitive efforts for provisioning and managing MySQL access and security with strongDM.

On an unmodified MySQL install, the root user account does not have a password. This is extremely insecure! As a systems administrator, we know that the easiest way to compromise a system is using the default unchanged password with admin privileges.

Configure the hosts for logging verbose data, and then send the logs to a cloud provider for long-term storage and access.

Abstract-away usernames and passwords and allow the systems administrator to keep the master passwords safe under lock & key.

SSH audit logs allow you to determine, either retroactively or in real-time, when an unauthorized or destructive action was taken, and by whom.

Should application developers have access to production database systems? This is a question as old as Vampires and Werewolves.

Gone are the days of sharing AWS root account credentials in a shared 1Password vault or worse, via email. With this in mind, one of the first steps to securing our AWS account is setting up AWS IAM.

It has never been easier for your company to build new infrastructure. In just a few clicks, you can spin up shiny new servers and databases in the cloud and start using them in seconds. However, in the rush to deploy new services so quickly, companies often let information security be an ...
