Level 1

Identity-Based Access

Welcome to Basecamp!

Identity-based access is the first step in the journey towards universal access.

So how do you know if you’ve achieved identity-based access?

 

Access is defined at the user level, and provisioned based on the needs of the individual.

You Are Here

  • You base access on identities, not networks.
  • You provision access to systems based on the needs of the individual or employee level.
  • You have an identity provider (IdP), SSO provider, and perhaps even MFA in place.

You Need to Be Here

  • You need access that is ephemeral and only exists in the moments when needed.
  • You need to extend secure access to all technical users.
  • You need to extend secure access across your entire stack.

Level 2

Privileged Access

Privileged Access controls and monitors the activity of privileged users.

At the second stage, you have implemented Privileged Access Management (PAM), which provides additional security for elevated credentials.

It’s a good start, and we can help you take it even further.

You Are Here

  • You have additional security controls for privileged users.
  • You may use functions like session recording, password rotation, and MFA.
  • You may be able to audit user actions using recordings.
  • You still have resources where shared credentials are still used.

You Need to Be Here

  • You need access that is ephemeral and only exists in the moments when needed.
  • You need to extend privilege-like security to ALL technical users.
  • You need to extend secure access across your entire stack.

Level 3

Just-in-Time (JIT) Access

JIT reduces the risk of unauthorized activity by providing fast, easy access that doesn't get in the way of productivity. StrongDM is just-in-time and just-enough.

JIT enables people to have access to the resources they need to do their jobs–and for the minimum necessary time.

You Are Here

  • You provide Just-in-Time Access to technical users.
  • You may have session tracking for privileged accounts.
  • You eliminated most, but not all standing access.
  • You adopted an IdP, MFA practices, and (possibly) legacy PAM.

You Need to Be Here

  • Your inventory is limited to critical systems within the infrastructure.
  • Your audit and compliance requirements are fully supported.
  • You fully eliminated always-on accounts.

Level 4

Universal Access

Congratulations! You have arrived at the top.

Universal Privileged Access and Authorization: this extends secure authentication, authorization, and auditing capabilities to all technical users. UPAA provides JIT access to all users who need access to databases, clouds, servers, clusters, and other resources.

Living the Access Dream

  • You consider all users privileged.
  • Your credentials are never shared or even seen by end users.
  • You have session tracking and review available for all sessions.
  • You provision and deprovision access through Just-in-Time (JIT) and Zero Standing Privileges (ZSP) principles.
  • You have processes to track, monitor, and update roles and resources consistently.
  • Your new users and systems are easy to manage.
  • You deprovision access to resources in an automated way.
  • Your access is tied to corporate identity through IdP integration.
  • You adopted MFA as standard practice.

No BS. Just a demo.

Usually, usability and security are at odds with each other, StrongDM is the one tool that increases security and is actually easier to use.”
