PART OF DELINEA'S IDENTITY SECURITY CONTROL PLANE
Least Privilege Access, from Request to Revoke.
StrongDM provides secure, just-in-time access for developers, DBAs, DevOps teams, and AI agents across cloud and traditional infrastructure. Every action is against policy for as long as it runs, without ever exposing a credential.
THE MECHANISM, IN DEPTH
StrongDM delivers consistent privileged access across every identity and environment, minimizing attack surface and risk. Here’s how.
StrongDM sits in line as a proxy for the resource itself, understanding every command at the protocol level instead of logging network traffic after the fact.
StrongDM never surfaces a credential to the user, machine, or agent. The proxy authenticates on their behalf when requested.
Every action inside the session is evaluated against policy in real time, so a session that starts clean can still be cut off the moment context violates policy.
BUILT FOR WHAT YOU ALREADY RUN
No agents to install on every resource you need to secure. No changes to how your team works.
PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Oracle, SQL Server, and other major engines, connected through the tools your team already uses.
Native kubectl access to Kubernetes, Amazon EKS, Google GKE, and Azure AKS, with policy applied at the cluster and namespace level.
AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud consoles, brokered the same way as everything else, not bolted on separately.
Agent-to-resource connections through MCP go through the same broker, policy engine, and audit trail as everything else. Claude, Cursor, and other MCP-enabled desktop agents.
SSH and RDP, native clients, no bastion hosts to manage.
Internal web applications and admin panels, without a VPN or a separate proxy to configure.
Also included: ChatOps approvals in Slack or Microsoft Teams; ITSM integrations with ServiceNow and Jira; incident response integrations such as PagerDuty and Incident.io; and Open APIs for custom workflows or for pulling access data into other tools.
Nothing to install on the target system. StrongDM sits in the connection path, not on the box.
Every action is understood at the protocol level, not treated as opaque network traffic.
No rip-and-replace. Most environments are live the same day.
EVIDENCE YOU CAN BRING TO AN AUDIT
Every session is recorded end-to-end, never just logged as a single connection event.
SSH and Kubernetes sessions get action-level recording and replay. RDP sessions get full video. Databases, web apps, and AI agents get full query and action logging.
Who requested access, who approved it, what they did, and when it was revoked, ready to export for a compliance review.
DELINEA + STRONGDM
This isn’t a second vendor bolted on. It’s the runtime access layer of the same identity security control plane you’ve already standardized on.
StrongDM connects to Delinea Secret Server rather than replacing it, brokering its stored credentials into live sessions across databases, Kubernetes, and cloud without exposing them to the end user.
The same access model your team already uses for human privileged access applies to AI agents and machines, with no additional solution to manage.
Bring cloud, Kubernetes, databases, and AI agents under one least privilege model, covering the resources and identities outside your PAM program today.
PROOF
“We chose StrongDM because it’s the one solution to rule them all. You integrate all your data sources, servers, and Kubernetes clusters into StrongDM. Your developers get one simple tool to connect using SSO, and they have access to what they own.”
“I would urge all other CISOs to adopt StrongDM as their database proxy platform. We implemented it within a day, and within a week we saw more users requesting access once they saw how easy it was.”
