Kubernetes Privileged Access Management (PAM) Solution

Access That Keeps Up with Your Cluster

Access expires when the pod does.

Pods spin up, scale, and disappear on their own schedule, not yours. StrongDM adjusts access in real time as your cluster topology changes, so nobody has to remember to revoke access to a pod that no longer exists. A user’s permissions track the resources that are running instead of a static role someone configured six months ago.

Namespace Boundaries That Actually Hold

One cluster, dozens of tenants, no shared reach.

Multi-tenant clusters put dozens of teams inside the same control plane. StrongDM enforces access at the namespace level, so a developer authorized for the checkout namespace cannot reach the billing namespace just because they share a cluster. If one namespace gets compromised, StrongDM keeps the blast radius contained there.

The API Server Gets the Same Scrutiny as a Production Server

The least-watched component in the cluster, watched.

The Kubernetes API server is the single point of control for the whole cluster, and it’s often the least monitored part of the stack. StrongDM applies the same session recording, authorization, and real-time policy enforcement to the API server that it applies to every other privileged resource, so no configuration change happens off the record.

Built for the Way Your Team Works

Compliance-Ready

StrongDM gives Kubernetes environments fine-grained, role-based access control, session monitoring, and automated credential management out of the box, and maps to specific NIST 800-53 and ISO 27001 controls.

Fits Around Legacy Jump Servers

Teams running Kubernetes access through a shared jump server or a single service account can move to StrongDM without replacing existing infrastructure. StrongDM sits in front of the cluster and takes over authentication, authorization, and audit, so the migration happens one cluster at a time.

Extends Your Existing PAM Investment

If your organization already vaults credentials and manages privileged accounts with a tool like Delinea Secret Server, StrongDM adds Kubernetes-native, real-time access control on top of that investment instead of asking you to replace it.
