Security

Here's a quick introduction to Active Directory and why its integration with the rest of your database infrastructure is important to expand into the cloud.

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.

With the advent of automated scaling solutions for our cloud environment like AWS Auto Scaling Groups, we need a way for our strongDM inventory to change in real-time along with the underlying servers. The solution: automation automation automation!

If you work with systems that run any variety of Linux or BSD then the probability is high that you have dealt with SSH. Invented in 1995 and established as an internet standard by the IETF in 2006, Secure Shell has become the default mechanism for remote access to servers by individuals and teams everywhere.

You're the DBA or maybe the Sysadmin at your company. Whatever your title, you’re the gatekeeper, and the key master for your company's database servers.

You’ve done it— you’ve taken the plunge. You’re ready to move away from complicated user management like LDAP, ready to stop worrying about private keys existing on developer laptops, and ready to up your compliance game with audit trails all of your SSH and database sessions.

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.

Physical security is not just a concern for large companies. A small business also needs an established physical security policy to protect their physical assets and provide their employees with a sense of protection and safety.In this policy, you will define the controls, monitoring, and removal of physical access to your company’s facilities.

Removable media, cloud storage, and BYOD devices can be a quick and convenient way for employees to handle data. But with this convenience comes some serious security concerns. Unprotected removable storage is an easy entry point for end users to inadvertently bring in viruses and malware into your company network, thus increasing the risk of business data exposure, hardware failures and data breaches. While it may be easier to prohibit employees from using removable media and declare it a punishable offense, that approach is impractical and unrealistic.

Typically there is a team who shares the responsibility of being on call on a periodic rotation. Being the first responder for production incidents typically requires an elevated set of permissions to ensure that they are not hampered in their efforts to get your services back online.
