About StrongDM

StrongDM is a cybersecurity startup that provides secure privileged access to a company's infrastructure, from on-premises to cloud-based systems. It caters to businesses of all sizes, operating in markets where data security and access control are paramount. The company's business model revolves around offering a comprehensive platform that simplifies access while reducing risk. It generates revenue by charging clients for its services, which include secure access, dynamic access controls, and audit trails.

StrongDM's platform ensures that access exists only when necessary, eliminating shared credentials and excessive permissions. This approach, known as Zero Standing Privileges and Just-in-Time access, allows companies to adjust access dynamically as people, roles, and technology change. This not only enhances security but also makes the job easier for employees, who can get instant access to the resources they need based on their role or attributes.

The platform is compatible with a wide range of systems, from legacy databases to modern cloud-based tools. It offers native integrations, making it easy for clients to use their preferred tools without any additional training or complications.

In addition, StrongDM eliminates the need for complex and fragmented solutions like VPNs, jump boxes, and bastion hosts. It provides secure access from anywhere in the world based on the user's identity. The platform also enables companies to reach Zero Trust goals with dynamic access controls and provides an auditable access history for every team member.
